Research ArticleOpen accessIn the keywordsConstruction of Recombinant Bioleaching Bacteria Thiobacillus ferrooxidans with Fluoride-Resistant ActivityYun-Chang Cao, Hong-Bo Wen, Nan Hu et al.Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is an important bioleaching bacterium, widely used in leaching, recovery of low-grade metals and environmental bioremediation. In bio-metallurgy industry, fluoride existing in some hard rock uranium deposits in south China severely affects the bacteria viability and inhibit leaching reproduction. In this study, the flr-4 gene that has strong resistance to fluorine ion in Caenorhabditis elegans, was cloned into … …American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology, Vol. 14, Issue 2 · 23 May 2018 · 11,341 accessesView PDFCite
