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 …

All metals are toxic at high concentrations and consequently their intracellular
concentrations must be regulated. Extremely acidophilic microorganisms have an optimum …

Acidophilic microorganisms thrive in extremely low pH natural and man-made environments
such as acidic lakes, some hydrothermal systems, acid sulfate soils, sulfidic regoliths and …

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

Microbial solubilizing of metals in acid environments is successfully used in industrial
bioleaching of ores or biomining to extract metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others …

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 …

Acidophilic microorganisms can thrive in both natural and man-made environments. Natural
acidic environments comprise hydrothermal sites on land or in the deep sea, cave systems …

Acidophilic micro-organisms inhabit some of the most metal-rich environments known,
including both natural and man-made ecosystems, and as such are ideal model systems for …

Acid Mine Drainage (AMD) results from sulfide oxidation, which incorporates hydrogen ions,
sulfate, and metals/metalloids into the aquatic environment, allowing fixation …

Acidophiles play a dominant role in driving elemental cycling in natural acid mine drainage
(AMD) habitats and exhibit important application value in bioleaching and bioremediation …
