Abstract

Jarosite [KFe₃(SO₄)2(OH)₆] was precipitated in cultures of Thio‐bacillus ferrooxidans growing on ferrous sulfate. This basic ferric sulfate was characterized by x‐ray diffraction patterns and infrared spectra and was very similar to jarosite produced chemically from acidic ferric sulfate.
