Phenotypic and genotypic analysis was carried out on four iron-and sulfur-oxidizing
acidophilic bacteria (the “NO-37 group”) isolated from different parts of the world. 16S rRNA …

The genus Acidithiobacillus comprises several species of Gram-negative acidophilic
bacteria that thrive in natural and man-made low pH environments in a variety of geo …

Autotrophic acidophilic iron-and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria of the genus Acidithiobacillus
constitute a heterogeneous taxon encompassing a high degree of diversity at the …

The negative impact of acid mine drainage (AMD) on public and environmental health by
degrading the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem with a drastic decrease in pH and elevated …

The acidithiobacilli are sulfur-oxidizing acidophilic bacteria that thrive in both natural and
anthropogenic low pH environments. They contribute to processes that lead to the …

The catalytic role of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) in iron biooxidation is
pivotal in the formation of Acid Mine Drainage (AMD), which poses a significant threat to the …

Members of the genus Acidithiobacillus, now ranked within the class Acidithiobacillia, are
model bacteria for the study of chemolithotrophic energy conversion under extreme …

Background Acidithiobacillus caldus is a sulfur oxidizing extreme acidophile and the only
known mesothermophile within the Acidithiobacillales. As such, it is one of the preferred …

Over the last half-century, microbial communities of the Kamchatka hot springs have been
largely studied using molecular, radioisotopic, and cultural approaches. Generally, these …

Background Habitats colonized by acidophiles as an ideal physical barrier may induce
genetic exchange of microbial members within the common communities, but little is known …
