Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and its potential application

Extremophiles, 2018
The widely distributed Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (A. ferrooxidans) lives in extremely acidic conditions by fixing CO2 and nitrogen, and by obtaining energy from Fe2+ oxidation with either downhill or uphill electron transfer pathway and from reduced sulfur oxidation. A.

Genetic engineering of the acidophilic chemolithoautotroph Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Trends in Biotechnology, 2022
There are several natural and anthropomorphic environments where iron- and/or sulfur-oxidizing bacteria thrive in extremely acidic conditions. These acidophilic chemolithautotrophs play important roles in biogeochemical iron and sulfur cycles, are critical catalysts for industrial metal bioleaching operations, and have underexplored potential in future

Adhesion to metal sulfide surfaces by cells of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans

Hydrometallurgy, 2006
Abstract Attachment of four strains of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans to pyrite, chalcopyrite, galena, sphalerite or quartz was found to be mineral-selective. The bacterial extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are responsible for mediating this process. Attachment of cells of A.

Iron and sulfur oxidation pathways of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

World Journal of Microbiology and Biotechnology, 2019
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, autotrophic and rod-shaped bacterium. It can gain energy through the oxidation of Fe(II) and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds for bacterial growth when oxygen is sufficient. It can be used for bio-leaching and bio-oxidation and contributes to the geobiochemical circulation of metal elements and ...

The role of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans in arsenic bioleaching from soil

Environmental Geochemistry and Health, 2013
Bioleaching of As from the soil in an abandoned Ag-Au mine was carried out using Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans and Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans. A. ferrooxidans is an iron oxidizer and A. thiooxidans is a sulfur oxidizer. These two microbes are acidophilic and chemoautotrophic microbes.

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans

Trends in Microbiology, 2019
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is by far the most widely studied of all extremely acidophilic prokaryotes. While it is found in many types of natural low-pH environments in a variety of geoclimatic contexts, it has been more widely cited in anthropogenic (mostly mine-impacted) environments.
