Many studies have illustrated the potential role of eukaryotes in bioremediation of Acidic Mine Drainage (AMD), especially algae and fungi that inhabit this environment. It is largely reported that algae can generate alkalinity and reduce level of heavy metals, directly and indirectly. In this study, two abandoned mines were analysed: Pollone Mine and Monte Arsiccio Mine (Lucca, Italy). Here, pyrite dissolution that generates acidic drainage is accelerated by the activity of prokaryotes. With PCR amplification (16S rDNA), these bacteria were detected: Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans, Sulfobacillus sp., Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum sp. Moreover, inside and outside mines, some forms of pr...
