Oxidative Inorganic Sulphur Metabolism in Obligately and Facultatively Chemolithotrophic Thiobacilli. Part of a Coordinated Programme on Bacterial Leaching of Uranium Ores. Final Report for the Period 1 April 1974 - 31 March 1978

摘要

This review explores a field of microbiology of ecological biochemical and economic interest. It deals with that category of this subject which is concerned with biochemical transformations of metals which can involve solubilization or precipitation, valency changes through oxidative or reductive processes and the interconversion of inorganic and organic metal compounds. The review in particular considers processes involved in the extraction of metals from insoluble minerals and secondly recovery of metals from solution. (Atomindex citation 10:462712)
