  2. 1. Structure and function of microbial communities in acid sulfate soil and the terrestrial deep biosphere

    Author : Xiaofen Wu; Mark Dopson; Ricardo Amils; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; molecular phylogeny; acid sulfate soils; metal; acidophiles; deep biosphere; oligotrophy; biofilm formation; metagenome; binning; metabolism; Mikrobiologi; Microbiology;

    Abstract : This thesis describes the use of different DNA sequencing technologies to investigate the structure and function of microbial communities in two extreme environments, boreal acid sulfate soil and the terrestrial deep biosphere.The first of the two investigated environments was soils containing un-oxidized metal sulfides that are termed ‘potential acid sulfate soil’ (PASS) materials.

  4. 2. Baltic Sea sediments : Source and sink for metal contamination

    Author : Sina Shahabi-Ghahfarokhi; João Marcelo Ketzer; Alessandro Amorosi; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Baltic Sea; sediments; acid sulfate soil; metal; remediation; reoxygenation; X-ray absorption spectroscopy; Environmental Chemistry; Miljökemi; Miljövetenskap; Environmental Science;

    Abstract : The Baltic Sea sediments record spatial and temporal information about metalsand metalloids (hereafter referred to as metals), which could help to understandthe past and present contamination sinks in different basins. In addition, giventhe expanding anoxic zones in the Baltic Sea, the response of metals to artificialreoxygenation is poorly understood. READ MORE

  5. 3. Function and Adaptation of Acidophiles in Natural and Applied Communities

    Author : Stephan Christel; Mark Dopson; Michael Schlömann; Linnéuniversitetet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Acidophiles; Biomining; Psychrophiles; Adaptation; Acid Sulfate Soil; Redox Control; Ecology; Ekologi;

    Abstract : Acidophiles are organisms that have evolved to grow optimally at high concentrations of protons. Members of this group are found in all three domains of life, although most of them belong to the Archaea and Bacteria. READ MORE

  6. 4. Green Liquor Dregs in Sealing Layers to Prevent the Formation of Acid Mine drainage : From characterization to implementation

    Author : Maria Mäkitalo; Bernd Lottermoser; Luleå tekniska universitet; []
    Keywords : NATURVETENSKAP; NATURAL SCIENCES; Applied Geology; Tillämpad geologi;

    Abstract : One of the mining industry’s main concerns is the management of waste rock and tailings generated by sulfide ore extraction. Upon exposure to atmospheric oxygen, iron sulfides oxidize producing acidity. READ MORE
