Pyrite oxidation under initially neutral pH conditions and in the presence of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and micromolar hydrogen peroxide [PDF]
, 2012 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) at a micromolar level played a role in the microbial surface oxidation of pyrite crystals under initially neutral pH. When the mineral-bacteria system was cyclically exposed to 50 μM H2O2, the colonization of Acidithiobacillus ...

Molecular genetic analysis of a thioredoxin gene from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]
Microbiology, 1995 The Thiobacillus ferrooxidans thioredoxin gene, trxA, was isolated by its ability to complement an Escherichia coli gshA trxA mutant which was otherwise unable to grow on minimal medium lacking glutathione. The T. ferrooxidans thioredoxin also enabled the in vivo reduction by E.

Corrosion and Electrochemical Oxidation of a Pyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]
Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 1992 The oxidation of a pure pyrite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is not really a constant phenomenon; it must be considered to be more like a succession of different steps which need characterization. Electrochemical studies using a combination of a platinum electrode and a specific pyrite electrode (packed-ground-pyrite
