Abstract
⺠NMR relaxation measurements (T2) can provide iron oxidation activity of bacterial cells. ⺠The iron oxidation ability of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was investigated. ⺠T2 shortening was found with increasing time as the bacteria oxidize Fe2+ to Fe3+ ions. ⺠Bacteria concentration increased 80 times and high iron oxidation ability was found in 9Kâ. ⺠The measurement has the advantage of in situ, non-intrusive, and fast.
