Author:Africa, Cindy-Jade; Harrison, Susan T L; Becker, Megan; van Hille, Robert PDate:2010In this paper, the development of a novel means of investigating the attachment and subsequent biofilm formation of mineral bioleaching micro-organisms to mineral surfaces in situ is described. The protocol was developed to investigate the ...Read more
Author:Africa, Cindy-Jade; van Hille, Robert P; Sand, Wolfgang; Harrison, Susan T LDate:2013This study sought to provide a better understanding of the dynamics of microbial-metal sulphide interfacial processes relevant to heap bioleaching. Attachment and subsequent biofilm formation by Metallosphaera hakonensis (M. hakonensis) on ...Read more
