Cross-Comparison of Leaching Strains Isolated from Two Different Regions: Chambishi and Dexing Copper Mines

Figure 2

Influence of ferric iron and copper concentration on the growth and activity of the Chambishi strains (solid lines) and Dexing strains (long dash lines). Effect of ferric iron on (a) the growth and (b) the iron oxidation rates of the different strains; effect of copper on (c) the growth and (d) the iron oxidation rates of the strains.
