In order to explore the fluoride tolerance and the community dynamics of mixed bioleaching microorganisms, a co-culture including five typical bioleaching strains (Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270, Leptospirillum ferriphilum YSK, Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans ST, Acidithiobacills thiooxidans A01, Acidithiobacills caldus S1) was constructed. The results show that the growth of the co-culture is inhibited by fluoride stress, and the co-culture keeps the stable cell density at high fluoride stress. The sulfur activity of the co-culture is not affected by fluoride stress. Microbial c...
