Adaptation of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans to nickel ion and bacterial oxidation of nickel sulfide

  • Published:
Biotechnology Letters Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Summary

The Ni2+ resistance of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was enhanced by repeated culturing in medium containing Ni2+ and gradually increasing the Ni2+ concentration. The extraction of nickel sulfide was enhanced by the adapted strain following the direct leaching mechanism of the microorganism.
