Different fates of Sb(Ⅲ)and Sb(Ⅴ)during the formation of jarosite mediated by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
Secondary iron-sulfate minerals such as jarosite,which are easily formed in acid mine drainage,play an important role in controlling metal mobility.In this work,the typical iron-oxidizing bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 was selected to synthe-size jarosite in the presence of antimony ions,during which the solution behavior,synthetic product composition,and bacterial metabolism were studied.The results show that in the presence of Sb(Ⅴ),Fe2+was rapidly oxidized to Fe3+by A.ferrooxidans and Sb(Ⅴ)had no obvi-ous effect on the biooxidation of Fe2+under the current experimental conditions.The pres-ence of Sb(Ⅲ)inhibited bacterial growth and Fe2+oxidation.For the group with Sb(Ⅲ),prod-ucts with amorphous phases were formed 72 hr later,which were mainly ferrous sulfate and pentavalent antimony oxide,and the amorphous precursor was finally transformed into a more stable crystal phase.For the group with Sb(Ⅴ),the morphology and structure of jarosite were changed in comparison with those without Sb.The biomineralization process was ac-companied by the removal of 94%Sb(Ⅴ)to form jarosite containing the Fe-Sb-O complex.Comparative transcriptome analysis shows differential effects of Sb(Ⅲ)and Sb(Ⅴ)on bacte-rial metabolism.The expression levels of functional genes related to cell components were much more downregulated for the group with Sb(Ⅲ)but much more regulated for that with Sb(V).Notably,cytochrome c and nitrogen fixation-relevant genes for the A.f_Fe2+_Sb(Ⅲ)group were enhanced significantly,indicating their role in Sb(Ⅲ)resistance.This study is of great value for the development of antimony pollution control and remediation technology.
