copper by use of bacteria. Second, the biomachining process requirements was also presented
extremophile bacteria was studied, using solutions with bacteria.

Xenofontosve Copper biomachining Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans B1 was The dominant biomachining mechanism
t al.(2015) mechanisms using the newly tested for copper biomachining at various was found to be the indirect
isolated Acidithiobacillus conditions, such as pH regulation (pH=1.8 degradation/bioleaching of copper from
ferrooxidans B1 or unregulated), temperature control (4 °C, the workpiece due to the microbial
20 °C) and inoculation strategy regenerated ferric ions.
