Abstract
A clear relationship was observed between the adhesion of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans to different substrates and the nutrient composition of the culture medium used for growth. However, a linear relationship between the percentage of attachment and the efficiency of bioleaching by these microorganisms was not found. The direct attack mechanism on insoluble sulphides by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was confirmed in the absence of iron.
