Screening of cobalt sulfide forming bacterial consortia
This study aims to screen bacterial consortia to form cobalt sulfide minerals. Bacterial consortia derived from marine sediments were grown in RCVBN medium and treated by 1 mM cobalt chloride and 1 mM natrium sulfate. Further, the consortia which showed positive result toward cobalt sulfide formation as well as its pre-treatment-version (consortial mother) were analyzed by using 16s rDNA method.
