Microbiological and geochemical dynamics in simulated-heap leaching of a polymetallic sulfide ore.

30 Oct 2008 The evolution of microbial populations involved in simulated-heap leaching of a polymetallic black schist sulfide ore (from the recently-commissioned Talvivaara mine, Finland) was monitored in aerated packed bed column reactors over a period of 40 ... Read more...

Comparison of microbial community composition and activity in sulfate-reducing batch systems remediating mine drainage.

30 Oct 2008 Five microbial inocula were evaluated in batch tests for the ability to remediate mine drainage (MD). Dairy manure (DM), anaerobic digester sludge, substrate from the Luttrell (LUTR) and Peerless Jenny King (PJK) sulfate-reducing permeable reactive ... Read more...

Exceptional diversity of mouse lemurs (Microcebus spp.) in the Makira region with the description of one new species.

30 Oct 2008 Although the number of described lemur species has increased considerably over the last 20 years, detailed biogeographic data are still lacking from many geographic regions, in particular in the eastern part of Madagascar. This study investigated ... Read more...
