Published purpose

This project investigates extracellular electron transfer between the multilayer microbial community in acidophilic biofilms and the surface of sulfidic minerals. A meta-omic approach combined with surface mineralogy mapping and electrochemical measurements will provide new insights into sulfide oxidation processes in mine waste rock piles, and the resulting problem of acid rock drainage.
