Cultures
We are currently working with a variety of different cultures. Ferric iron produced by a biomining culture enriched from the Wheal Jane mine tailings (mine waste). Ferric iron produced by a commercial biomining culture containing Sulfobacillus benefaciens, Acidithiobacillus caldus and Leptospirillum ferriphilum used to reprocess cobalt-containing tailings in Kasese, Uganda.
Algal culture of Galdieria Sulphuraria growing in acid mine drainage from Wheal Jane. This alga produce phycocyanin, a blue colour that is used for, among other thing, blue smarties!
