Bioleaching of Molybdenum by Two New Thermophilic Strains Isolated and Characterized

Bioleaching of Molybdenum by Two New Thermophilic Strains Isolated and Characterized

This study involves the isolation and characterization of a bacterial strain capable of bioleaching molybdenum ore. Bacterial growth was observed when rock sample was incubated in 9K at 70 ºC. The isolates were identified as extremely acidophilic, thermophilic and chemolithotroph archaebacteria. Fol...
