Biodegradation of thiocyanate by a native groundwater microbial consortium

Autor: Liam P. Spurr, Mathew P. Watts, Han M. Gan, John W. Moreau

Publikováno v: PeerJ, Vol 7, p e6498 (2019)

Gold ore processing typically generates large amounts of thiocyanate (SCN−)-contaminated effluent. When this effluent is stored in unlined tailings dams, contamination of the underlying aquifer can occur. The potential for bioremediation of SCN−-
