By simulating the mining environment, the potential of the selected mixed bacteria (Pseudomonas putida, Lysinibacillus xylanilyticus, Lysinibacillus macroides, Bacillus simplex, Brevibacillus agri) to control Fe and Mn pollutants in mining environment were explored. The results showed that the selected bacteria could inhibit the release of Fe and Mn from ore into the aquifer, and the inhibition effect on Mn was significantly stronger than that on Fe. At the same time, these processes also have a certain degree of impact on the external environment, including the gradual increase of pH, the gradual decrease of oxidation-reduction potential, and the decrease of dissolved oxygen concentration. The changes of these external environmental factors will once again directly affect the degradation and immobilization of Fe and Mn. The selected mixed bacteria can also enhance the adsorption of free Fe and Mn, improve the adsorption efficiency and capacity of Fe and Mn, and slow down the desorption of Fe and Mn to water.
