Journal ArticleDOI
Life in acid: pH homeostasis in acidophiles
Craig Baker-Austin,Mark Dopson +1 more
TL;DR: A review of recent insights regarding how acidophiles are able to survive and grow in these extreme conditions highlights the role of secondary transporters.
Book ChapterDOI
Cytoplasmic pH Measurement and Homeostasis in Bacteria and Archaea
TL;DR: Diverse mechanisms of pH homeostasis are presented including cell buffering, adaptations of membrane structure, active ion transport, and metabolic consumption of acids and bases under conditions of growth, non-growth survival, and biofilms.
Journal ArticleDOI
Growth in sulfidic mineral environments: metal resistance mechanisms in acidophilic micro-organisms
TL;DR: This review summarizes the knowledge of acidophile metal resistance and presents preliminary in silico studies on a few known metal resistance systems in the sequenced acidophile genomes.
Journal ArticleDOI
Potential Role of Thiobacillus caldus in Arsenopyrite Bioleaching
Mark Dopson,E. Börje Lindström +1 more
TL;DR: Three possible roles of T. caldus in the leaching environment can be hypothesized: to remove the buildup of solid sulfur that can cause an inhibitory layer on the surface of the mineral, to aid heterotrophic and mixotrophic growth by the release of organic chemicals, and to solubilize solid sulfur by the production of surface-active agents.
Journal ArticleDOI
Characterization of Ferroplasma Isolates and Ferroplasma acidarmanus sp. nov., Extreme Acidophiles from Acid Mine Drainage and Industrial Bioleaching Environments
TL;DR: Phenotypic results suggested that isolate “F. acidarmanus” Fer1T is of a different species than the other three strains, and 16S rRNA sequence data, DNA-DNA similarity values, and two-dimensional polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis protein profiles clearly showed that strains DR1, MT17, and YT group as a single species.
