ABSTRACT: The temperature is a critical environmental factor which determines the metabolic activities of the living organisms. A particular living organism has its own optimum temperature to survive. In the present investigation the effect of temperature on the extraction of aluminum from the bauxite ore by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans has been studied. The temperature 36°C was found to be optimum for the Thiobacillus ferrooxidans for extracting aluminum from bauxite ore.

KEYWORDS: Thiobacillus ferrooxidans; Bauxite ore; metals; temperature.
