Mine Water Treatment

Ferrovum is a recently found new genus of acidophilic iron-oxidizing bacteria.Ferrovumspp. dominate the microbial community of a pilot plant for biological mine-water treatment and together with someGallionellarelatives appear to be key players of the process. Isolation ofFerrovumstrains should greatly be facilitated by a new APPW medium. Sequencing of the genome ofFerrovumsp. JA12 so far did not point to any alternative electron donors and also did not reveal genes for nitrogen fixation.

The capacity of a microbiological mine water treatment plant may to be enhanced by understanding the microbiological processes. Therefore different samples from the pilot plant were analyzed by culture-independent and cultivation methods. Dominant bacteria could be isolated on overlay plates or enriched in gradient cultures. To immobilize biomass in the pilot plant, various carrier materials were tested. Sessil, the material currently used in the pilot plant, was the most favored and appropriate material.
