    Nitrate-Dependent, Neutral pH Bioleaching of Ni from an Ultramafic Concentrate by Han Zhou A thesis submitted in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Master of Applied Science Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto © Copyright by Han Zhou 2014 ii Nitrate-Dependent, Neutral pH Bioleaching of Ni from an Ultramafic Concentrate Han Zhou Master of Applied Science Chemical Engineering and Applied Chemistry University of Toronto 2014 Abstract This study explores the possibility of utilizing bioleaching techniques for nickel extraction from a mixed sulfide ore deposit with high magnesium content. Due to the ultramafic nature of this material, well-studied bioleaching technologies, which rely on acidophilic bacteria, will lead to undesirable processing conditions. This is the first work that incorporates nitrate-dependent bacteria under pH 6.5 environments for bioleaching of base metals. Experiments with both defined bacterial strains and indigenous mixed bacterial cultures were conducted with nitrate as the electron acceptor and sulfide minerals as electron donors in a series of microcosm studies. Nitrate consumption, sulfate production, and Ni released into the aqueous phase were used to track the extent of oxidative sulfide mineral dissolution; taxonomic identification of the mixed culture community was performed using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Nitrate-dependent microcosms that contained indigenous sulfur- and/or iron-oxidizing microorganisms were cultured, characterized, and provided a proof-of-concept basis for further bioleaching studies. iii Acknowledgments I would like to extend my most sincere gratitude toward both of my supervisors Dr. Vladimiros Papangelakis and Dr. Elizabeth Edwards. This work could not have been completed without your brilliant and patient guidance.

Primary soil characteristics were determined using standard techniques, such as dichromate oxidation (organic matter content), the Kjeldahl method (nitrogen content), the Olsen method (phosphorus content) and a Bernard calcimeter (carbonate content). The Bouyoucos Densimetry method was used to establish textural data. Exchangeable cations (Ca, Mg, K and 10 Na) extracted with 1 M NH 4Cl and exchangeable aluminium extracted with 1 M KCl were determined using atomic absorption/emission spectrophotometry with an AA200 PerkinElmer analyser. The effective cation exchange capacity (ECEC) was calculated as the sum of the values of the last two measurements (sum of the exchangeable cations and the exchangeable Al). Analyses were performed immediately after sampling. 15 Hydrocarbon analysis Extraction (5 g of sample N and Nbs) was performed with dichloromethane:acetone (1:1) using a Soxtherm extraction apparatus (Gerhardt GmbH & Co.

Abstract: Hydrogen sulfide is a toxic compound that can affect various groups of water microorgan- isms. Photolithotrophic sulfur bacteria including Chromatiaceae and Chlorobiaceae are able to convert inorganic substrate (hydrogen sulfide and carbon dioxide) into organic matter deriving energy from photosynthesis. This process takes place in the absence of molecular oxygen and is referred to as anoxygenic photosynthesis, in which exogenous electron donors are needed. These donors may be reduced sulfur compounds such as hydrogen sulfide. This paper deals with the description of this metabolic process, representatives of the above-mentioned families, and discusses the possibility using anoxygenic phototrophic microorganisms for the detoxification of toxic hydrogen sulfide. Moreover, their general characteristics, morphology, metabolism, and taxonomy are described as Citation: Kushkevych, I.; Bosáková, well as the conditions for isolation and cultivation of these microorganisms will be presented.

Strain YM22-133T was Gram-positive, aerobic, non-motile and rod shaped. The cell-wall peptidoglycan contained LL-DAP, glycine, alanine and hydroxyglutamate. The predominant menaquinone was MK-9 (H8), with MK-9 (H0), MK-9 (H2), MK-9 (H4) and MK-9 (H6) present as minor menaquinones. The G+C content of the genomic DNA from the strain was 68 mol%. Phylogenetic analysis of the 16S rRNA gene sequence showed that the strain is near- est to Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans DSM 10331T. However, the similarity is relatively low (87.1%) and the physiological characteristics are also different: Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans is thermo- tolerant and acidophilic. Therefore, strain YM22-133T can be classifi ed as a novel genus and species, Ilumatobacter fl uminis gen. nov., sp. nov. (type strain YM22-133T =DSM 18936T=MBIC 08263T).

Farnelid1,2*, Kendra A. Turk-Kubo1 and Jonathan P. Zehr1 1 Ocean Sciences Department, University of California at Santa Cruz, Santa Cruz, CA, USA, 2 Centre for Ecology and Evolution in Microbial Model Systems, Linnaeus University, Kalmar, Sweden Photosynthetic picoeukaryotes are significant contributors to marine primary productivity. Associations between marine bacterioplankton and picoeukaryotes frequently occur and can have large biogeochemical impacts. We used flow cytometry to sort cells from seawater to identify non-eukaryotic phylotypes that are associated with photosynthetic picoeukaryotes. Samples were collected at the Santa Cruz wharf on Monterey Bay, CA, USA during summer and fall, 2014. The phylogeny of associated microbes was assessed through 16S rRNA gene amplicon clone and Illumina MiSeq libraries. The most frequently detected bacterioplankton phyla Edited by: within the photosynthetic picoeukaryote sorts were Proteobacteria (Alphaproteobacteria Xavier Mayali, and Gammaproteobacteria) and Bacteroidetes. Intriguingly, the presence of free-living Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, USA bacterial genera in the photosynthetic picoeukaryote sorts could suggest that some Reviewed by: of the photosynthetic picoeukaryotes were mixotrophs. However, the occurrence of Cécile Lepère, bacterial sequences, which were not prevalent in the corresponding bulk seawater Blaise Pascal University, France Manuela Hartmann, samples, indicates that there was also a selection for specific OTUs in association with National Oceanography Centre, UK photosynthetic picoeukaryotes suggesting specific functional associations. The results Michael Morando, show that diverse bacterial phylotypes are found in association with photosynthetic University of Southern California, USA picoeukaryotes.
