SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR EXTRACTING RARE EARTH ELEMENTS WITH ENGINEERED MICROORGANISMS
20240132993 · 2024-04-25 ·

Provided are modified bacteria for use in bioleaching rare earth elements (REEs). The modified bacteria contain at least one engineered genetic change that is correlated with improved bioleaching of the REEs, relative to REE bioleaching by unmodified bacteria of the same species as the modified bacteria. Also provided is a method for extracting REEs by contacting a composition containing REEs with biolixiviant produced by the modified bacteria. Kits that include containers that hold the modified bacteria are also provided.
