Résumé du livre
Three species of chemosynthetic iron- and sulfur-oxidizing autotrophic bacteria have been isolated from the leaching waters of copper mining areas. These species are: The sulphur-oxidizzing Thiobacillus concretivorus, the iron-oxidizing Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans, and the sulfur- and iron-oxidizing bacterium closely resembling Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
