The effect of adsorbed lipid on pyrite oxidation under biotic conditions by Strongin Daniel R, Lim Eelin, Cleveland Curtis, Hao Jun, Schoonen Martin AA

“…<p>Abstract</p> <p>The chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, <it>Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</it>, commonly occurs in acid mine drainage (AMD) environments where it is responsible for catalyzing the oxidation of pyrite and concomitant development of acidic conditions. This investigation reports on the growth of this bacterial species on the pyrite surface and in the aqueous phase at a pH close to 2 as well as the role of adsorbed lipid in preventing pyrite dissolution. …”
