Journal ArticleDOI
Autotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing actinobacteria in acidic environments
Paul R. Norris,Carol S. Davis-Belmar,Carol S. Davis-Belmar,Carly Brown,Carly Brown,Leonides A. Calvo-Bado +5 more
TL;DR: “Acidithiomicrobium” has RuBisCO-encoding genes which are most closely related to those of acidophilic actinobacteria and Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, and has additional RuBISCO genes of a different lineage.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferrous iron oxidation and leaching of copper ore with halotolerant bacteria in ore columns
TL;DR: In this article, a new isolate of the acidophile Thiobacillus prosperus was found to have a substrate oxidation rate similar to that of acidithibacillus ferrooxidans, and these species possess similar, but not identical, clusters of genes (the rus operon) that encode proteins likely to be involved in transfer of electrons from ferrous iron.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ferrous iron and pyrite oxidation by "Acidithiomicrobium" species
TL;DR: The extensive dissolution of pyrite during autotrophic growth contrasted with a requirement for yeast extract for significant growth of the related Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pyrite oxidation and copper sulfide ore leaching by halotolerant, thermotolerant bacteria
TL;DR: Pyrite oxidation was observed in a mixed culture of salt tolerant, thermotolerant, acidophilic bacteria from warm, acidic, coastal sediments of the island of Milos (Greece) as mentioned in this paper.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ore column leaching with thermophiles: I, copper sulfide ore
TL;DR: In this paper, the concentrations of ferrous iron in ore column effluents and the pH of the effluent during leaching of a copper sulfide ore were followed as an indication of the activity of the microbial populations that were established in the ore columns.
