Microbial Populations in Ferrous Iron Oxidation Bioreactors

Motivación: ferrous iron oxidation can take place in partly controlled biological reactors inoculated with mixed cultures of acidophilic microorganisms. In these bioreactors, liquor pH can affect productivity. We aimed at determining whether productivity changes are directly due to the chemistry of...

Descrição
Resumo:Motivación: ferrous iron oxidation can take place in partly controlled biological reactors inoculated with mixed cultures of acidophilic microorganisms. In these bioreactors, liquor pH can affect productivity. We aimed at determining whether productivity changes are directly due to the chemistry of iron precipitation or due to microbial population changes.
