In a quest for engineering acidophiles for biomining applications: challenges and opportunities
, 2018 Biomining with acidophilic microorganisms has been used at commercial scale for the extraction of metals from various sulfide ores. With metal demand and energy prices on the rise and the concurrent decline in quality and availability of mineral ...

Function and Adaptation of Acidophiles in Natural and Applied Communities [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2018 Acidophiles are organisms that have evolved to grow optimally at high concentrations of protons. Members of this group are found in all three domains of life, although most of them belong to the Archaea and Bacteria.

Genomics, physiology and applications of cold tolerant acidophiles [Elektronisk resurs]
, 2012 Psychrotolerant acidophiles have gained increasing interest because of their importance in biomining operations in environments where the temperature falls well below 10°C during large parts of the year.Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans is the only ...

Growth in sulfidic mineral environments: metal resistance mechanisms in acidophilic micro-organisms
, 2003 Acidophilic micro-organisms inhabit some of the most metal-rich environments known, including both natural and man-made ecosystems, and as such are ideal model systems for study of microbial metal resistance.
