Effect of Different Solvent Extractants on the Activity and Community Structure of Acidophilic Microorganisms

Abstract:

The effect of solvent extractants, such as M5774, Cyanex 272, P204, P507 and N235, on the activity and community structure of acidophilic microorganisms were tested. Cobalt extractant Cyanex 272 did not show much inhibition effect on the growth of acidophiles, while iron extractant N235 had great inhibition effect. When the culture solution contacted with iron extractant P204, nickel extractant P507 and copper extractant M5774, the inhibition effect increased gradually. 16S rRNA gene clone library were used to analyze the initial and extractant contacted final microbial community structure. The initial inoculation microbial populations were mainly composed by Leptospirillum ferriphilum and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. After cultivated in solution containing extractant M5774, Cyanex 272, P204 and P507, the number of the two species decreased, while heterophilic Acidiphilium cryptum became the dominant population. When cultured by M5774 and Cyanex 272, the proportion of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was higher than Leptospirillum ferriphilum, while when cultivated by P204 and P507, the number of Leptospirillum ferriphilum was higher.
