T he mineral processing industry is increasingly facing
problems with processing of secondary resources like low
grade ores and other industrial wastes for a green zero waste
technology and sustainable economy. Failure of the conventional
physico-chemical methods adopted for the metal recovery
from such secondary resources in terms of economics and
eco-friendly approach has doubled the problems in the mineral
processing sector. Over the past few years, the advent and
approach of microbial processing has seen a revolution in the
mineral processing area. The main power of microorganisms
is the ability to compensate the redox reaction within mineral
matrix resulting in the easy dissolution of metals. However, the
problem associated in the microbial processing is the metal
toxicity towards microorganisms which has been solved by their
adaptation to the higher concentration of heavy metals. It is now
believed that these tiny bugs have the tremendous potential to
recover metal values from such difficult to treat resources. With
all the discussions available on the open literature, more andmore
information is being offered to understand the eco-physiology
of such microorganisms. The information on the diversity of
oxidizers and reducers has enabled us to gather more and more
data for their utilization in the mineral processing sector. Genetic
manipulation is a powerful and unique tool which can bring drastic
changes in the physical, chemical and biological properties in an
organism. These changes bring about the extra ability to survive
in the extreme environments that does not favour the natural
species. Application of microalgae must be given top priorities in
industries in solving environmental issues as well by means of
remediation, biosorption and latest for energy production. Server
directly predicts the key proteins involved in iron and/or sulphur
oxidation by several groups of bioleaching bacteria that can be
very helpful toward development of a novel microbial consortia.
Hence, the applications of such bioinformatics predictions can
help to shape the outlook of the bioleaching processing. It is
believed that the coming years will see a more advanced and new
designed reactors for the bioleaching process in the sustainable
biotechnological industry.
