As biofilm formation is crucial for the leaching process it may be suitable to modulate AHL- and c-di-GMP levels to optimize attachment to ore particles for example, which may enhance bioleaching processes. However, although the existence of the above-mentioned pathways suggests that QS regulated biofilm formation plays a role in mineral solubilization, further experiments are required to ...

Once these sediments are separated from the rocks, erosion is the process that moves the sediments away from it's original position. The four forces of erosion are water, wind, glaciers, and gravity. Water is responsible for most erosion. Water ...
