Microbes are able to enhance the sulfide mineral decomposition, which lead to the formation of AMD. Attachment of bacterial cells to the mineral surface is an important process for pyrite oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The selective advantage of bacterial adhesion is considered to favor the surface localization of bacterial populations as nutritionally favorable. Environmental factors determine cell accumulation or dissociation of attachment. In our study, the amount of sessile cells increased rapidly during the initial stage of attachment on pyrite. Planktonic cells showed high activity leading to the accumulation of large colonies on the pyrite surface. We found three proteins to be up-regulated significantly. Additionally, by matching the sequences of the three proteins to the Pfam database, we found that they are related to adhesion, pili biosynthesis and movement. When we replaced pyrite with glass to provide an inert surface that abolished electrostatic forces, we found that cell attachment was maintained under nutrient-rich conditions but drastically reduced under conditions of limited nutrients or the presence of the inhibitor homoserinelactone. Our results are consistent with the idea that starvation may lead to inhibition of attachment by an unknown mechanism that allows bacteria to search for nutrient-rich habitats.
