Ionic rare earth ore (IREO) has a high abundance of medium and heavy elements (REEs), making it vital strategic resource for China. In this work, two typical microorganisms, Aspergillus niger Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, were used to study the interaction mechanism during bioleaching IREO under acidic conditions. The results revealed some differences in leaching effects A. ferrooxidans on ionic minerals. mainly forms complexes with ions by secreting metabolites such as organic acids, thereby promoting release REEs, strong adsorption capacity Yb. promotes REEs from minerals, primarily through iron-sulfur oxidation. differential expression metabolic genes (e.g., gpmL, FabF, FASN) associated major metabolite secretion indicates their correlation process. above reveal role acid-producing microorganisms IREO, which is valuable understanding mechanisms between
