Some characteristics of Ag+ biosorption and bioreduction by Lactobacillus sp. A09 biomass were reported. The optimum pH value of Ag+ biosorption by strain A09 was 4.5. Temperature(6~ 50 ℃ ) did not affect the biosorption. The biosorptive efficiency (91% ) and biosorptive capacity(Ag+ 125 mg· g- 1 dry weight biomass ) were achieved under the conditions of Ag+ 100 mg· L- 1, biomass 800 mg· L- 1, pH 4.5 and 30 ℃ for 24 h contact. TEM analysis indicated that A09 biomass could reduce Ag+ to Ag0 as Ag particles on the surface of cells. IR spectroscopy showed that - CO2- and - HN- C=O on the surface of cells may involve in the precession for adsorbing Ag+ .
The properties of Pt 4+ adsorption and its reduction by Bacillus megaterium D01 were studied by means of ICP, anode stripping voltammetry, TEM, IR and XPS. The results of ICP analyses showed that the Pt 4+ adsorptive efficiency of the strain D01 was as high as 94.3% under the conditions of 100 mg Pt 4+ /L, 1 g biomass/L, pH 3.5 and at 30 ℃ for 24 h. Moreover, it was confirmed from anode stripping voltammetry that the strain D01 possessed a strong reducibility. The TEM analysis indicated that the strain D01 was able to adsorb and reduce Pt 4+ to Pt 0, small particles. The XPS result further supported the reduction of Pt 4+ to Pt 2+ , followed by the further recuction to Pt 0. The IR spectrum implied that D01 biomass adsorption of Pt 4+ may result in the complexation of the CO bond to the Pt species.
