Interesting Halophilic Sulphur-Oxidising Bacteria with Bioleaching Potential: Implications for Pollutant Mobilisation from Mine Waste

For many years, research on the microbial-dissolution of metals from ores or waste materials mainly focussed on the study of acidophilic organisms. However, most acidophilic bioleaching microorganisms have limited tolerance to high chloride concentrations, thereby requiring fresh water for bioleachi...
