Abstract

With equal priority: 1. Development of a reactor process for metal extraction from mineral sulphides by a novel, Sulfolobus-like organism. 2. Investigation of lithoautotrophy in thermoacidophilic archaea : the mechanisms of carbon dioxide fixation and iron oxidation during growth on mineral sulphides.
