Ni2+、Cu2+、Zn2+对氧化亚铁硫杆菌氧化 活性影响

为研究金属离子对氧化亚铁硫杆菌（Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans,At.f）氧化活性的影响,通过测定经初步驯化的At.f菌在不同初始pH下的生长活性,开展不同浓度梯度的Ni2+、Cu2+、Zn2+及三种金属离子共存时对At.f菌的氧化活性影响的试验。结果表明,当初始pH为1.8时,At.f菌生长活性最好,且低浓度的Ni2+、Zn2+对At.f菌氧化活性影响较小,对两种金属离子的耐受浓度均在20 g/L以上;而该细菌对Cu2+比较敏感,当Cu2+浓度为2.5 g/L时,菌株的生长活性明显下降,特别是10 g/L时,对At.f菌的氧化能力有显著的抑制作用。三种金属离子同时存在时对At.f菌氧化活性的影响大于单一金属离子,当三种金属离子的浓度均为2.5 g/L时,在48小时内对At.f菌的氧化能力有显著的抑制作用,当三种金属离子的浓度均为5 g/L时,80小时时菌株对Fe2+的氧化率极低,说明At.f菌需要经过多种金属离子共存驯化培养后才能更好地运用于多金属复杂矿物的处理。     

Novel Gemini Cationic Surfactants: Thermodynamic,Antimicrobial Susceptibility,and Corrosion Inhibition Behavior against Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

The Egyptian oil and gas industry is suffering from severe metal corrosion problems, particularly microbial-induced corrosion. There is limited knowledge on the corrosion inhibition of carbon steels in the presence of an acidophilic, iron-oxidizing bacterial species Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Therefore, in this study, novel Gemini cationic surfactants, in three forms depending on variation in alkyl chains of 8, 12, and 16 carbon atoms named FHPAO, FHPAD, and FHPAH, respectively, were synthesized and characterized by Fourier transform infrared and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The surface parameters and the thermodynamic of the synthesized surfactants were evaluated at three different temperatures, 20, 40, and 60 °C. The synthesized Gemini cationic surfactants were tested as broad-spectrum antimicrobial, antibacterial and anticandida agents. They evaluated as biocides and corrosion inhibitors against Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. FHPAD showed higher adsorption ability at the solution interface and higher affinity to construct micelles than FHPAO and FHPAH. Both adsorption and micellization processes were hydrophobic and temperature dependent. FHPAO, FHPAD and FHPAH exhibited wide-spectrum antimicrobial activities, and the highest activity and the lowest minimum bactericidal/fungicidal inhibitory concentrations were attributed to FHPAD. Furthermore, synthesized FHPAD demonstrated the highest metal corrosion inhibition efficiency of 95.5% at 5 mM in comparison to 87.5% and 81.7% for FHPAO and FHPAH, respectively. In conclusion, this study provides novel synthesized cationic surfactants with many applications in the oil and gas industry, such as broad-spectrum antimicrobial, biocides, and corrosion inhibitors for acidophilic, iron-oxidizing bacterial species Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.

A new strain Acidithiobacillus albertensis BY-05 for bioleaching of metal sulfides ores

An acidophilic,rod-shaped Gram-negative sulfur oxidizing strain BY-05 was isolated from an acid mine drainage of copper ore in Baiyin area,Gansu Province,China.Ultrastructural studies show that the isolate has a tuft of polar flagella and possesses sulfur granules with clear membrane adhering to the cell innermembrane.Physiological study shows that this isolate grows autotrophically and aerobically by oxidizing S0and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds(SO, 2 23-SO, 2 24- S2 -and ZnS)with the optimum growth at pH 3.5-4.0 and at the temperature range of 25-30℃.The 16S rRNA gene sequence(DQ 423683)of strain BY-05 has 100%sequence similarity to that of Acidithiobacillus albertensis(DSM 14366).So it is identified and named as A. albertensis BY-05.Bioleaching experiments with this new strain show that it can play an important role in recovery of metals from chalcopyrite and sphalerite.     

A combination of bioleaching and bioprecipitation for deep removal of contaminating metals from dredged sediment

A linked microbial process comprising bioleaching with sulfate-oxidizing bacteria and bioprecipitation with sulfate-reducing bacteria operating sequentially was investigated to deeply remove contaminating metals from dredged sediment. The results showed that sediment bioleaching resulted in a sharp decrease in sediment pH from an initial pH ∼7.6 to pH ∼2.5 within 10-20 days, approximately 65% of the main heavy metals present (Zn + Cu + Cr) were solubilized, and most of the unsolubilized metals existed in residual form of sediment. The acidic leachate that resulted from sediment bioleaching was efficiently stripped of metal sulfates using a bioprecipitation reactor when challenged with influent as low as pH ∼3.7. More than 99% of Zn²⁺, 99% of Cu²⁺ and 90% of Cr³⁺ were removed from the leachate, respectively, due to the formation of ZnS, Cu₂S and CrOOH precipitates, as confirmed by SEM-EDS and XRD detection. It was also found that alkalization of bioleached sediment using Ca(OH)₂ excluded the risk of sediment re-acidification. The ability of the combined process developed in this study to deeply remove heavy metals in insoluble sulfides or hydroxides forms makes it particularly attractive for the treatment of different types of metal contaminants.     

Effect of Ni<Superscript>2+</Superscript>, V<Superscript>4+</Superscript> and Mo<Superscript>6+</Superscript> concentration on iron oxidation by <Emphasis Type="Italic">Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans</Emphasis>

The ferrous oxidation ability of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was studied in the presence of Ni²⁺, V⁴⁺ and Mo⁶⁺ in 9 K media in order to implement the culture in the bioleaching of spent catalyst. The rate of iron oxidation decreased with increasing concentration of metal ions, but the rate of inhibition was metal-ion dependent. The tolerance limit was critical at a concentration of 25 g/L Ni²⁺, 5 g/L V⁴⁺ and 0.03 g/L Mo⁶⁺. The growth rate of microorganisms was negligible at concentrations of 6 g/L V⁴⁺ and 0.04 g/L Mo⁶⁺. Levels and degree of toxicity of these ions have been quantified in terms of a toxicity index (TI). The toxicity order of metal ions was found to be Mo⁶⁺>V⁴⁺>Ni²⁺. The significance and relevance of multi-metal ion tolerance in Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans has been highlighted with respect to bioleaching of spent refinery catalyst.     

Phenotypic and genetic characterization of a novel strain of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans （AF2）

A comparative study on the phenotypic and genetic characteristics among Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (AF2), a typic strain ATCC23270 and a previously isolated strain AF3 was performed. AF2 can use ferrous ion (Fe²⁺) or elemental sulfur (S⁰) as sole energy source, but oxidizes S⁰ more effectively than Fe²⁺, which is different from ATCC23270 and AF3. The G+C content of AF2 is 51.8% (molar fraction), however, ATCC23270 and AF3 strains have G+C content of 63.7% and 64.8% (molar fraction), respectively. The DNA-DNA hybridization results show that AF2 has 41.53% and 52.38% genome similarity to ATCC 23270 and AF3, respectively, but AF3 has a high genome similarity of 89.86% to ATCC 23270 strain. Rusticyanin (rus) and subunit III of aa₃-type cytochrome oxidase (coxC) genes are not detected in AF2, but Fe²⁺ oxidase (iro) gene can be detected. To understand the genomic organization of iro gene, a cosmid library of AF2 genome was constructed and iro gene-containing clone was screened. The sequencing result shows that although the nucleotide sequence of iro gene in AF2 is completely identical to that of ATCC 23270 strain, its genomic organization is different from that of ATCC 23270. In AF2, iro is located at downstream of purA gene, while it is located at downstream of petC-2 gene in ATCC 23270 strain. These results indicate that AF2 is a novel strain of A. ferrooxidans, and that phenotypic differences among the strains of A. ferrooxidans are closely correlated with their genetic polymorphisms.
