Validation of Genetic Markers Associated to Oxygen Availability in Low-Grade Copper Bioleaching Systems: An Industrial Application

Validation of Genetic Markers Associated to Oxygen Availability in Low-Grade Copper Bioleaching Systems: An Industrial Application

Forced aeration is one of the major energy consumption factors of the bioleaching process of run-of-mine ore. The effect of aeration in the microbial community has scarcely been studied at industrial level. Leptospirillum ferriphilum is one of the most representative species of the Fe3+ producing po...
