Generation of a Gluconobacter oxydans knockout collection for improved extraction of rare earth elements

Bioleaching of rare earth elements using microorganisms offers an environmentally friendly alternative to thermochemical extraction. Here, Schmitz et al. generate a whole-genome knockout collection of mutants for one such microorganism, Gluconobacter oxydans, and identify genes affecting the product...

Sumario:Bioleaching of rare earth elements using microorganisms offers an environmentally friendly alternative to thermochemical extraction. Here, Schmitz et al. generate a whole-genome knockout collection of mutants for one such microorganism, Gluconobacter oxydans, and identify genes affecting the production of acidic biolixiviant and thus bioleaching efficacy.
