ABSTRACT Three kinds of samples (acid mine drainage, coal wastewater, and thermal spring) derived from different sites were collected in China. Thereafter, these combined then inoculated into a basal salts solution which substrates (ferrous sulfate, elemental sulfur, chalcopyrite) served as energy sources. After that, the mixed cultures growing on pooled equally, resulting final culture. being adapted to gradually increasing pulp densities chalcopyrite concentrate by serial subculturing for...

Microbial biomass has been recognized as an essential biosorbent to remove heavy metal ions, but the biosorption process and mechanism of different components microbial cells have not elucidated. In present study, Pichia pastoris X33 Cu2+ was used a model reveal cells. For whole cells, maximum removal efficiency 41.1%, adsorption capacity 6.2 mg g-1. TEM-EDX analysis proved existence on cell surface cytoplasm. The wall, membrane cytoplasm were 21.2%, 20.7% 18.5%, respectively. optimum pH P....
