Sulfide wastes from the extraction of metal ores generate acidic mine drainage (AMD), containing toxic elements such as arsenic (As), antimony (Sb) and thallium (Tl). Remediation processes using microbial communities have been developed to remove these pollutants from AMD, but the biological processes involved in these treatments still need to be controlled to ensure their effectiveness. The scientific obstacles, which are the subject of the thesis, lie in (1) a lack of knowledge on direct and indirect microbial transformations of Sb and Tl, and (2) for As, a weak understanding of relationships that exist between dynamics of microbial communities, their functional potential, water physico-chemistry and efficiency of treatments applied to AM...
