Abstract
⺠Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown with Fe2+ in the presence of 0-24 mM Pb(NO3)2. ⺠Jarosite precipitated upon iron oxidation but Pb-jarosite was not detected. ⺠Pb precipitated as anglesite and dissolved Pb remained below 20 μM levels. ⺠Bacterial iron oxidation was inhibited by nitrate (up to 48 mM) instead of Pb. ⺠The lack of Pb-jarosite was consistent with the PHREEQC geochemical model.
