Abstract:

Rhodochrosite (MnCO3) is a solid Mn(Ⅱ) origin mineral and its oxidation into Mn oxides is a very common phenomenon. Although microbially mediated oxidation of Mn(II) to Mn oxides have been demonstrated in previous studies, the mechanisms of bacteria how to dissolve and oxidize using a solid Mn(II) origin are poorly understood. In this study, we examined the role of Pseudomonas putida MnB1 cell in enhancing dissolution and oxidation of rhodochrosite from Wuzhou, Guangxi province. By using Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscopy (FESEM), Scanning Transmission X-ray Microscopy imaging analysis (STXM) as well as other techniques, the changes of the mineral surfaces and the distribution of manganese in cells were identified. The result show that bacteria significantly promote the dissolution of the rhodochrosite. Moreover, the contribution of bacteria to the oxidation of rhodochrosite was discussed. The results will enrich the research of secondary manganese deposits
