Extremely acidophilic microorganisms have an optimal pH of< 3 and are found in all three
domains of life. As metals are more soluble at acid pH, acidophiles are often challenged by …

Highly concentrated radionuclide waste produced during the Cold War era is stored at US
Department of Energy (DOE) production sites. This radioactive waste was often highly acidic …

Here, we report three new Acidiphilium genomes, reclassified existing Acidiphilium species,
and performed the first comparative genomic analysis on Acidiphilium in an attempt to …

Acidophiles are microorganisms that thrive under highly acidic conditions (pH 3 or below)
and are distributed in the three domains of life: Archaea, Bacteria, and Eukarya. Among the …

Acidiphilium multivorum LMS is an acidophile isolated from industrial bioreactors during the
processing of the gold-bearing pyrite-arsenopyrite concentrate at 38–42° C. Most strains of …

To understand the differences of the bacteria associated with different mosses, a
phylogenetic study of bacterial communities in three mosses was carried out based on 16S …

Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans A01 is widely used in bioleaching processes and commonly
thrives in most metal-rich environments. However, interactions between different heavy …

Metal-rich natural and artificial habitats are extreme environments for the evolution of unique
microbial communities, which have adapted to deal with the toxic levels of the metals …

This chapter summarizes the multiple processes that microorganisms use to metabolize
nickel ions and describes nickel-dependent enzymatic transformations. A wide variety of …

Cupriavidus metallidurans CH34 displays resistance to a plethora of metals. Its response
and underlying genetic determinants are dissected and detailed metal by metal (from …
