Biohydrometallurgical technologies based on the oxidation of sulfide minerals by iron- and sulfur-oxidizing acidophilic microorganisms are widely used to extract non-ferrous and noble metals from sulfide ores and concentrates. Acidophilic microorganisms oxidizing sulfide minerals include autotrophs, heterotrophs, and mixotrophs. Therefore, studying of the effect of different carbon sources on biooxidation of sulfide minerals is relevant issue. The goal of the present work was to study the effect of different organ...
