title: BIOTECHNOLOGICAL METHODS FOR PROCESSING SUBSTANDARD ORES AND WASTES
abstract: The information about using of biotechnological methods for the processing of mineral and technogenic raw materials was analyzed and summarized in the article. A review of the main groups of microorganisms that make up the microbiocenosis of various ecological niches and wastes is given. The leading role of acidophilic chemolithotrophic bacteria in the oxidation process of natural sulphide raw materials is also shown. Basic mechanisms of bacterial leaching of metals and the influence of various
