How did thiobacillus ferrooxidans bring about the change from lime to gypsum?
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a bacteria that can oxidize sulfur compounds in the presence of water and oxygen. When sulfur compounds react with lime, it forms gypsum as a byproduct. Therefore, the presence of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans facilitates the conversion of lime to gypsum by promoting the oxidation of sulfur compounds.
Does bacteria cause toxic waste?
Severl species of Acidithiobacillus such as Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also called Thiobacillus thiooxidans or Thiobacillus concretivorus) can convert various sulfur compounds to sulphuric acid a toxic water pollutant.

Acid mine drainage results from the chemical weathering of?
sulfide minerals present in rocks exposed during mining activities. When these minerals are exposed to air and water, they react to form sulfuric acid, which then leaches other metals and contaminants from the surrounding rock. This acidic runoff can pollute waterways and harm aquatic life.
What is the scientific name for Thiobacillus acidophilus.?
The scientific name for Thiobacillus acidophilus is Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans.
Can thiobacillus survive in sulfuric acid?
Yes, Thiobacillus species are acidophilic bacteria that can survive and thrive in extremely acidic environments, including sulfuric acid. They are capable of using sulfur compounds as an energy source and can tolerate high levels of acidity.
How does thiobacillus denitrificans helf bioremediate groundwater?
dentrification
What are examples of -biodegradable material?
Biodegradable Materials - are capable of being broken down especially into innocuous products by the actions of living things. Examples are:Leavespaperwoodplant matter e.g grassToilet papercardboardpaper towels, napkinsnewspaperjunk mailfood scrapscoffee groundsashesyard wasteBacteria are surprisingly adaptive organisms and can biodegrade a very wide range of materials which would not ordinarily be thought of as biodegradable. As bacteria can "eat" them they can be put into the biodegradable class as well.It is fairly common knowledge that some bacteria adapt to eat heavy hydrocarbons from oil spills and are used to clean up this type of environmental problem. Similar bacteria can even eat asphalt in a high concentration of sodium chloride. Deep sea bacteria near black smokers (volcanic vents) consume toxic sulfides as a source of energy. Some bacteria even eat iron and sulphur compounds. Examples are Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (also known as. Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans (also known as Thiobacillus thiooxidans or Thiobacillus concretivorus) excreting iron and sulfuric acid.human waste,manure,sewage,slaughterhouse waste,green waste,food waste,paperwaste,jute & cottonwaste
