Abstract:

In this study, initial attachment to and biofilm formation of Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans DSM 9293T on pyrite in the presence of Leptospirillum ferriphilum DSM 14647T were investigated. Interactions of S. thermosulfidooxidansT and L. ferriphilumT were studied by means of monitoring attachment behavior and biofilm formation on pyrite. Our preliminary results showed that 1): Pre-established biofilms of L. ferriphilumT had effects on attachment of S. thermosulfidooxidansT to pyrite; 2): physical contact between cells of L. ferriphilumT and S. thermosulfidooxidansT on pyrite were visible 3): Pyrite leaching by cells of S. thermosulfidooxidansT was inhibited by the presence of inactive cells of L. ferriphilumT.
