In biooxidation, on the other hand, gold is predominantly unlocked from refractory ores in largescale stirredtank biooxidation arrangements for further processing steps. In addition to copper and gold production, biomining is also used to produce cobalt, nickel, zinc, and uranium.

#0183;#32;Microorganisms play many roles in the biogeochemical cycling of gold and can be utilised in a number of ways for gold processing and recovery. Biooxidation of refractory gold bearing sulphide ores with acidophilic iron and sulphuroxidising microorganisms has been already commercially practised since the 1980s, first in bioreactors and subsequently as heap leaching operations.

Microorganisms contribute to biogeochemical cycling of gold. Biooxidation, biolixiviants and permeability enhancement may improve gold recovery. Microorganisms may also decrease gold solubility through various mechanisms.

Role of microorganisms in bioleaching of rare earth in green and smart technologies has led to an increase in the focus on recovery and separation Gold processing research and technology
Gold and Silver Leaching Today''s microbial leaching of refractory precious metal ores to enhancegold and silver recovery is one of the most promising applications. Gold is obtained through bioleaching of arsenopyrite/pyrite ore and its cyanidation process. Silver is more readily solubilized than gold during microbial leaching of iron sulfide.
The review covers aspects such as the roles of microbes in the solubilisation and precipitation of Au, including biooxidation of goldbearing sulphide ores, biological production of lixiviants, effects of microorganisms on lixiviant stability, and microbially catalysed permeability enhancement of ore bodies.
Microbial Recovery of Petroleum: By the conventional technique used in the oil fields, approximately onethird of the oil can be recovered. However, the oil recovery can be enhanced by using solvents, and surfactants. Certain polymers produced by microorganisms (, xanthan gum), when added to oil wells are capable of increasing oil recovery.
