Abstract
The oxidative ability of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in the presence of different concentrations of H~2~SO~4~, HCl, HNO~3~, and their mixtures was investigated. Bacteriological oxidation of FeSO~4~ is expressed as a function of time and acid concentration. For each acid and for their mixtures lethal concentrations for T. ferrooxidans were found experimentally. On the basis of the lethal concentration for each acid separately the lethal concentrations of their mixtures were computed and it was found that they are in good agreement with the experimental data.

It is generally accepted that iron-oxidizing bacteria, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, enhance chalcopyrite leaching. However, this article details a case of the bacteria suppressing chalcopyrite leaching. Bacterial leaching experiments were performed with sulfuric acid solutions containing 0 or 0.04 mol
