Biooxidation of Iron by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the Presence of D-Galactose: Understanding Its Influence on the Production of EPS and Cell Tolerance to High Concentrations of Iron
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, together with other microorganisms, has an important role on biohydrometallurgical processes. Such bacterium gets its energy from the oxidation of ferrous ion and reduced sulfur; in the first case, the accumulation of ferric ion as a product can cause its inhibition....
