The effect of applied DC potentials both in the positive and negative range, on the activity and growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, is discussed. In general, application of positive potentials up to +I000 mV in an acid bioleaching medium was found to be detrimental to bacterial activity, while the

A structured model for Thiobacillus ferrooxidans growth dependence on ferrous and ferric iron, ar- senic, oxygen, carbon dioxide, pH, and temperature is presented. A new kinetic mechanism for ferrous oxidation by T. ferrooxidans is introduced. Data from several earlier experimental studies of T. fer
Thiobacillus/errooxidans originally cultured on ferrous iron can adapt to grow on thiosulphate, tetrathionate, trithionate or sulphur in liquid media. In unneutralized cultures (initial pit 4--4.4),mean doubling times on thiosulphate were 8.5--13 h and on tetrathionate was about 10 h. In pH-control!
