Bacterial cyanide generation in the presence of metal ions (Na+, Mg2+, Fe2+, Pb2+) and gold bioleaching from waste PCBs

As an alternative using cyanide chemicals for gold extraction, the application of a cyanogenic bacterium viz. Chromobacterium violaceum (C. violaceum) in YP medium has been investigated. The catalytic roles of metal ions such as Na+, Mg2+, Fe2+, and Pb2+, as well as the effect of Na2HPO4 nutrient ad...
