اقرأ أكثرAmong the microorganisms, prokaryotic bacteria have received the most attention in the area of biosynthesis of nanoparticles. Early studies reveal that Bacillus subtilis 168 is able to reduce Au 3+ ions to produce octahedral gold particles of nanoscale dimensions (5–25 nm) within bacterial cells by incubation of the cells with gold chloride (Beveridge and Murray …
اقرأ أكثرIn contrast to most other metals, gold (Au) is rare, inert, nonessential, and does not form free ions in aqueous solution under surface conditions ().Therefore, the role of microorganisms in the environmental cycling of Au, i.e., its solubilization, dispersion, and reconcentration, remains controversial; most authors emphasize abiogenic pathways (7, 8), …

اقرأ أكثرApplications for extracting gold from low grade ores are of increasing interest. • Microorganisms contribute to biogeochemical cycling of gold. • Biooxidation, biolixiviants and permeability enhancement may improve gold recovery. • Microorganisms may also decrease gold solubility through various mechanisms. Abstract
اقرأ أكثرBlood culture is currently the gold standard for detecting and identifying microorganisms causing BSI . Despite being accurate and well established in the routine workflow, culture-based standard procedures may take up to 72 h (3, 4). Thus, there is an urgent need for methods that can rapidly identify microorganisms to the species level and the ...

اقرأ أكثرMicroorganisms, mainly bacteria as mentioned above, are indigenous to the ARD environment. These microorganisms play a role in the direct and indirect oxidation of sulphur minerals (e.g., pyrite, pyrrhotite). Normally, sulphur oxidizing bacteria are incorporated for extracting metals from ores in metallurgical processes.

اقرأ أكثرGold solubility can also be reduced with the use of bacteria that help in consuming the ligands that bind the gold or by bio-sorption, enzymatic reduction and precipitation and by using gold as micronutrient [6]. In addition, bacteria can also indirectly influence gold solubilization by enhancing the permeability of gold-bearing ores bodies [15].

اقرأ أكثرMicroorganisms can mediate gold solubilisation by oxidising the sulphide matrix of refractory gold ores making the gold more accessible to leaching by chemical lixiviants. Microorganisms can also excrete ligands which are capable of stabilising gold by forming gold-rich complexes and/or colloids ( Reith et al., 2007a ).
