What is Copper Leaching Using Fungi Techniques about?

Certain Penicillium fungi can solubilize significant amounts of copper from mining waste and ores under neutral to acidic conditions. The fungi release metabolites into the environment that chelate with and leach copper from the material. Testing showed the fungal leaching process is highly dependent on the growth medium and copper concentration in the source material. The most effective fungi were able to leach more copper than acid treatment alone.
