Enhanced Dissolution of Silicate Minerals by Bacteria at Near-Neutral pH
Almost half of 17 bacterial isolates examined in this study stimulated by townite feldspar dissolution at near-neutral pH while in a resting state in buffered glucose. Most of the isolates that stimulated dissolution produced gluconic acid by the partial oxidation of glucose during the experiment.
