    摘要:The genus Acidithiobacillus has been widely used in bioleaching, and novel strains in this genus, such as A. ferriphilus, have also been conffrmed to possess bioleaching capabilities. In this study, an Acidithiobacillus ferriphilus strain, QBS3, was isolated from zincrich sulffde mine drainage using the gradient dilution method. QBS3 is a Gram-negative, 1.3 µm rod-shaped bacterium with small red colonies. It showed a high iron oxidation efffciency of 0.361 g/(L·h) and a sulfur oxidation efffciency of 0.206 g/(L·d). QBS3 has sphalerite bioleaching ability; using QBS3 for pure sphalerite bioleaching, 18.8% of zinc was extracted in 14 days at 1% pulp density. Whole genome sequencing was performed on QBS3. Functional prediction showed that 9.13% of the genes were involved in replication, recombination, and repair. Bioleaching-related genes were analyzed, including iron and sulfur oxidation genes, and carbon and nitrogen ffxation genes. For iron oxidation, the Cyc2→RusA pathway and Iro→RusB pathway were found in QBS3. In terms of sulfur oxidation, QBS3 has an incomplete SOX system and lacks the SDO gene, but Rho and Trx may complement the SOX system, enabling QBS3 to oxidize sulfur. QBS3 has multiple sets of carbon ffxation genes, and nitrogen ffxation genes were also identiffed. A hypothetical sphalerite bioleaching model is proposed; this study provides a theoretical basis for the zinc sulffde ore bioleaching industry.

    摘要:Rusticyanin plays a crucial role in ferrous oxidation of sulfide minerals during bioleaching for industrial metal extraction. Diverse isoforms of rusticyanin have been found, but until now, except for type-A rusticyanin, other isoforms or sources of rusticyanin have been scarcely investigated. Here, a rusticyanin (gene locus 0470) from the psychrophilic Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans was gene-cloned, expressed, purified, and assembled in vitro. All forms of the protein exhibit extreme acid stability, even at pH 0.3. The stability of the protein is obviously enhanced after binding of the copper cofactor; the oxidation state is more stable than the reduced state. The protein has characteristic UV-vis peaks and EPR signals similar to type-A or type-B rusticyanin but is different with a small position shift and an obvious intensity change. The vibrational spectrum of the apoprotein was more different than these between the oxidation and reduced states of the protein. The ferrous oxidation kinetic rate constant of the protein is obviously faster than that of both the type-A and type-B rusticyanins previously reported. Further bioinformatics analysis reveal their changes in sequence and molecule: the mutations related to the peculiar shield belt mostly account for the variation in the properties of the protein, and the classification of the protein as a new isoform, type-C rusticyanin, is proposed.

    摘要:Silicon nitride is a bioceramic with great potential, and multiple studies have demonstrated its biocompatibility and antibacterial properties. In this study, silicon nitride was prepared by a microwave sintering technique that was different from common production methods. SEM and pore distribution analysis revealed the microstructure of microwave-sintered silicon nitride with obvious pores. Mechanical performance analysis shows that microwave sintering can improve the mechanical properties of silicon nitride. The CCK-8 method was used to demonstrate that microwave-sintered silicon nitride has no cytotoxicity and good cytocompatibility. From SEM and CLSM observations, it was observed that there was good adhesion and cross-linking of cells during microwave-sintered silicon nitride, and the morphology of the cytoskeleton was good. Microwave-sintered silicon nitride has been proven to be non-cytotoxic. In addition, the antibacterial ability of microwavesintered silicon nitride against Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli was tested, proving that it has a good antibacterial ability similar to the silicon nitride prepared by commonly used processes. Compared with silicon nitride prepared by gas pressure sintering technology, microwave-sintered silicon nitride has excellent performance in mechanical properties, cell compatibility, and antibacterial properties. This indicates its enormous potential as a substitute material for manufacturing bone implants.
