Diffusible signal factor signaling controls bioleaching activity and niche protection in the acidophilic, mineral-oxidizing leptospirilli

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Su00f6ren Bellenberg from the CentreLinnaeus University, a, Bellinzona, Switzerland have published the research work: Diffusible signal factor signaling controls bioleaching activity and niche protection in the acidophilic, mineral-oxidizing leptospirilli, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The authors propose that the finding of efficient inhibition of biological iron oxidation by DSF family compounds has potential for a possible application to prevent unwanted bioleaching.
• how: Micromolar DSF/BDSF concentrations are unlikely to occur in leptospirilli containing habitats and the biogenic concentrations of DSF in batch pyrite cultures (Fig 4) were one . . .
