Abstract excerpt
Acidophilic bacteria inhabiting acidic mine regions cause natural leaching of sulphidic ores. They are now exploited in industrial operations for leaching of metals and beneficiation of low-grade and recalcitrant ores. Recent trends emphasize application of thermoacidophiles and genetic engineering of ore-leaching bacteria for greater success in this area. This requires an in-depth understanding on the molecular...
