Effects of pH, temperature and solids loading on microbial community structure during batch culture on a polymetallic ore

The bioleaching of an organic-rich polymetallic ore was conducted under conditions intended to probe the boundaries of microbial activity using iron and sulphur oxidising microorganisms and heterotrophs enriched from self-heating pyritic coal. Solution chemistry parameters such as rapidly increased...
