黄铁矿、单质硫、亚铁离子对浸矿微生物产生胞外多聚物的影响(英文)

嗜酸浸矿微生物产生的胞外多聚物(EPS)在酸性矿坑水的产生和硫化矿的浸出过程中,有着非常重要的影响,胞外多聚物(EPS)介导细胞与能源物质的接触,对有机薄膜的形成和细菌与基础物之间的相互作用起着重要的作用。对7株浸矿菌在不同能源培养物下产生的EPS的量以及EPS的化学成分进行研究,发现EPS含有化学成分糖、蛋白质、糖醛酸等,细菌的种类和能源物质对EPS的量和成分有很大影响。结果表明,以黄铜矿为能源物质的细菌产生的EPS要比以单质硫和亚铁为能源物质产生的EPS量多,EPS含量最高为(159.43±3.93)mg/g,是由Leptospirillum ferriphilum CBCBSUCSU208015在黄铁矿为能源物质下产生的。

Effect of pyrite,elemental sulfur and ferrous ions on EPS production by metal sulfide bioleaching microbes

Extracellular polymeric substances （EPS） produced by acidophilic bioleaching microorganisms play an important role in the production of acid mine drainage and metal sulfide bioleaching. EPS mediate the contact between microbial cells and growth substrates, having a pivotal role in organic film formation and bacterium-substratum interactions. The production and chemical composition of EPS produced by seven bioleaching strains grown with different substrates were studied. Analysis of the EPS extracted from these strains indicated that the EPS consisted of carbohydrates, proteins and galacturonic acid. The contents of EPS, carbohydrates, proteins and galacturonic acid of EPS were largely related to the kind of strain used and culture condition. The results show that EPS productions of microbes grown with pyrite were significantly higher than those of microbes grown with sulfur or FeSO4·7H2O. The highest EPS production of the seven acidiphilic strains was （159.43±3.93） mg/g, which was produced by Leptospirillum ferriphilum CBCBSUCSU208015 when cultivated with pyrite.
