Native Cyanide Degrading Bacterial Consortium and Its Potential for Gold Mine Tailings Tertiary Biotechnological Treatment

Gold extraction by cyanidation generates toxic effluents stored in tailing dams which are an environmental hazard due to the presence of metal-cyanide complexes and sulfates. We aimed to isolate a native bacterial consortium from a gold mine tailing dam and study its cyanide biodegradation potential...
