Bacterial Colonization on the Surface of Copper Sulfide Minerals Probed by Fourier Transform Infrared Micro-Spectroscopy

Biofilm formation is a molecular assembly process occurring at interfaces, such as in bioleaching processes. The real time monitoring of the marker bands of amide I/amide II by FTIR microspectroscopy during <i>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</i> colonization on chalcopyrite surfaces revea...
