7.2.3.1 Bioleaching with A. thiooxidans
The bioleaching experiments with A. thiooxidans were performed in a mineral salt medium
composed of 0.1 g di-potassium hydrogen phosphate (K

), 0.25 g magnesium sulfate
(MgSO

, 0.1 g potassium chloride (KCl) and 2%
(wt./v) of elemental sulfur per 1 L of ultrapure water. The initial pH value of growth medium
was set at 2.5. 2% (vol.) of pre-grown bacterial culture (described above) was inoculated to
the batch reactors. Abiotic growth medium supplemented with slag was run as the control.
Samples were taken after 1, 2, 3, 6, 9, 14, 21 and 40 days.
