Article Synopsis
- Various chemical and surface analysis techniques, including Raman and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, are used to study how adding As(V) affects the biooxidation of arsenopyrite by a bacterium called Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans.
- The findings suggest that arsenic enhances bacterial activity during bioleaching, which impacts how arsenic moves in the environment and leads to changes in biofilm characteristics.
- Results show significant differences in surface reactivity and secondary compound formation in the presence of As(V), along with a shift in biofilm properties from hydrophilic to hydrophobic despite a reduction in extracellular surface proteins.
