Gold extraction by cyanidation from refractory gold ores results in the formation of thiocyanate-and cyanide-contaminated wastewater effluents that must be treated before recycle or discard. Activated sludge processes, such as ASTERTM, can be used for biodegradation of these effluent streams. The destruction of these compounds is catalyzed by a mixed microbial culture, however, very little is known about the community composition and metabolic potential of the thiocyanate-and cyanide-degrading microorganisms within the community. Here we describe our on-going attempts to better understand the key microorganisms, within the ASTERTM bioprocess, that contribute to the destruction of thiocyanate and cyanide, and how this knowledge relates to further process optimisation.
