Base media added solutes/metals KCl, MgSO4, CaSO4, and NaSO4. (A) H. anomala grew at nearly the same rate as no added metal in the presence of KCl. (B) Growth of the organism was slowed by approximately half with the addition of MgSO4. (C) CaSO4 was within the error rate for matching growth with no added metal. (D) NaSO4 appeared to increase H. anomala growth in relationship to no added solute (metal).

A yeast-like extremophile organism, Hansenula anomala, has been isolated from the superfund site the Berkeley Pit Lake in Butte, Montana. Studies demonstrate H. anomala growth in some of the known Berkeley Pit Lake solutes. Microbial growth dynamics under controlled conditions were compared of H. anomala for multiple metal concentrations. Each solu...
