The ferrous-iron oxidation kinetics of a bacterial culture consisting predominantly of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans were studied in continuous-flow bioreac- tors. The bacterial culture was fed with a salts solution containing 12 g/L ferrous-iron, at dilution rates ranging from 0.01 to 0.06 l/h, and t

## Abstract The objective of this study was to evaluate a direct classical bioengineering approach to model data generated from continuous bioβoxidation of Fe^2+^ by a __Leptospirillum ferrooxidans__βdominated culture fed with either 9 g or 18 gβFe^2+^βL^β1^ under chemostat conditions (dilution rat
## Abstract Biomining is the use of microorganisms to catalyze metal extraction from sulfide ores. However, the available water in some biomining environments has high chloride concentrations and therefore, chloride toxicity to ferrous oxidizing microorganisms has been investigated. Batch biooxidat
## Abstract The kinetics of ferrous iron oxidation by __Leptospirillum ferriphilum__ (__L. ferriphilum__) dominated culture was studied in the concentration range of 0.1β20 g Fe^2+^/L and the effect of ferric iron (0β60 g Fe^3+^/L) on Fe^2+^ oxidation was investigated at pH below one. Denaturing gr
