微生物是地球表层最强大的地质营力之一,微生物在自然界的地质作用,不仅仅局限于有机质的转化和破坏及沉淀矿床的形成和改造.而且在成岩、表生地质作用,以及其他许多方面都产生巨大的影响。微生物成矿研究目前已成为矿床学研究的重要领域之一,本文对铁、锰、金、金属硫化物、磷、铀等各种矿产的生物成矿作用的研究进行了总结。
Microorganisms are one of the most powerful geologic forces. The geologic effect of microorganisms in nature is not only limited in the conversion and destruction of organic materials ,formation and transformation of depositional bed, but also has great affection in diagenesis and surface geological effect some other fields. The study of microbial mineralization is one of the most important fields in deposit study at present. This paper gives a conclusive introduction of some minerals' microbial biomineralization, take Fe,Mn,Au,S,P and U etc as examples.
