The possibility of using microorganisms in biomining applications was realized after the 1951 paper by Kenneth Temple and Arthur Colmer. [9] In the paper the authors presented evidence that the bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (basonym Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) is an iron oxidizer that thrive in iron, copper and magnesium-rich environments.

[5] MinE is involved in preventing the formation of MinCD complexes in the middle of the cell. MinE forms a ring near each cell pole. This ring is not like the Z-ring. Instead, it catalyzes the release of MinD from the membrane by activating MinD's ATPase. This hydrolyzes the MinD's bound ATP, preventing it from anchoring itself to the membrane.

An assay is an investigative (analytic) procedure in laboratory medicine, mining, pharmacology, environmental biology and molecular biology for qualitatively assessing or quantitatively measuring the presence, amount, or functional activity of a target entity. The measured entity is often called the analyte, the measurand, or the target of
An elderly straphanger was randomly shoved onto subway tracks at the Herald Square station in Manhattan on Sunday afternoon, according to police.
Describing what he called “an emotional” postgame locker room, Mayo said questions about his future would be addressed in due time. He may have already known that his time had ended.
The oldest-known mine on archaeological record is the Ngwenya Mine in Eswatini (Swaziland), which radiocarbon dating shows to be about 43,000 years old. At this site Paleolithic humans mined hematite to make the red pigment ochre. [5] [6] Mines of a similar age in Hungary are believed to be sites where Neanderthals may have mined flint for ...
