Development of a small-scale bioreactor method to monitor the molecular diversity and environmental impacts of bacterial biofilm communities from an acid mine drainage impacted creek
2011, Journal of Microbiological MethodsCitation Excerpt :Species such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and Ferroplasma acidiphilum are known to accelerate the rate-limiting step of pyrite oxidation, (Colmer and Hinkle, 1947; Dugan and Lundgren, 1965; Dugan, 1975; Apel et al., 1976; Schrenk et al., 1998; Rawlings et al., 1999; Golyshina and Timmis, 2005; Fredrickson and Gorby, 1996; Johnson, 1998; Mielke et al., 2003) and thus have been extensively studied. However, the overall diversity of microbial communities in AMD-impacted streams has only recently begun to be appreciated (Bond et al., 2000b; Kim et al., 2001; Brake et al., 2001; Brofft, et al., 2002; Johnson and Hallberg, 2003: Baker et al., 2004; Lopez-Archilla et al., 2004; Bruneel, et al., 2005; Hallberg et al., 2006; Hao et al., 2007; He et al., 2007; Neculita et al., 2007; Damme et al., 2008; Nicomrat et al., 2008; Yin et al., 2008; Das et al., 2009). Although it is likely that these communities play critical roles in processes such as the biogeochemical cycling of metals and sulfur that are central to the generation and remediation of AMD, (Johnson, 1998; Labrenz and Banfield, 2004; Kalin et al., 2006; Weber et al., 2006; Rowe et al., 2007; Wang, et al., 2008; Lu et al., 2010) their ecological roles in AMD-impacted environments remain largely unstudied.
