Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, a facultative hydrogen oxidizer [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1990 The type strain (ATCC 23270) and two other strains of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were able to grow by hydrogen oxidation, a feature not recognized before. When cultivated on H2, a hydrogenase was induced and the strains were less extremely acidophilic than during growth on sulfidic ores. Cells of T.
