Learning from nature: recovery of rare earth elements by the extremophilic bacterium Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum

Singer, H.; Steudtner, R.; Sottorff, I.; Drobot, B.; Pol, A.; Op Den Camp, H. J. M.; Daumann, L. J.

We present the extremophilic bacterium Methylacidiphilum fumariolicum SolV as a platform for the recovery of rare earth elements (REE). Strain SolV is able to selectively extract the light REE from artificial industrial waste sources, natural REE-containing and postmining waters. Upscaling, different media composition and accumulation over several cycles were successfully implemented, underlining the potential for bio-recovery of REE.
