ABSTRACT
To monitor the levels of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans in bioleaching operations, we have developed a specific and very sensitive dot-immunobinding assay. Polyclonal antisera against whole T. ferrooxidans cells was used, and the bacteria-antibody reaction was visualized by employing either 125I-labeled or peroxidase-conjugated protein A or 125I-labeled or peroxidase-conjunted goat anti-rabbit immunoglobulin G. A minimum of 10**3 cells per dot could be easily detected. Therfore, the method allows the sensitive, and specific simultaneous processing of numerous samples in a short time
