Taxonomy of the Acidophilic Thiobacilli

Journal of General Microbiology, 1966
SUMMARY: Numerical analysis was applied to the taxonomy of acidophilic thiobacilli; 22 strains were examined, including authentic cultures and new isolates. Two sets of tests were made with different substrates, sulphur and thiosulphate. The results from both sets of tests indicated two distinct groups corresponding to Thiobacillus thio-oxidans and T ...

Biodiversity of acidophilic prokaryotes

2001
Publisher Summary This chapter reviews recent literature concerning the biology of acidophilic prokaryotes (bacteria and archaea) specifically relating to acidophilic taxonomy and phylogeny. Acidophilic microorganisms are one group of extremophiles that is becoming increasingly important, both ecologically and economically.

Immunocytochemistry of Acidophil

Archives of Neurology, 1969
IN A REVIEW of the ultrastructual organization of human acidophil and chromophobe pituitary adenomas, the acidophils were from abundantly to sparsely supplied with secretory granules measuring 300 to 500 mμ, and the secretory granules in chromophobe adenomas were of two sizes, the average diameter being about 100 mμ in some cells and approximately 300 ...

On the acidostability of an acidophilic thermophilic bacterium

Biochimica et Biophysica Acta (BBA) - Bioenergetics, 1973
Abstract When an acidophilic thermophilic bacterium, Bacillus sp., is exposed to acid environment (pH 4.0) without glucose, the cell suspension consumes H + . When the cells respire glucose, no consumption of H + by the cell suspension is observed. On addition of respiratory inhibitor or uncoupler to the cell suspension containing glucose, however,

Acidophiles in bioreactor mineral processing

Extremophiles, 2000
Mineral processing in bioreactors has become established in several countries during the past decade with industrial application of iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacteria to release occluded gold from mineral sulfides. Cobalt extraction in bioreactors has also been commercialized, and development of high-temperature biooxidation of copper sulfides has ...

A new acidophilic Scytalidium

Canadian Journal of Microbiology, 1974
A brown mold fungus was isolated from acid soil and from acid solutions in an industrial plant and a uranium mine. The only type of spores observed were arthroconidia. The morphology of the fungus is illustrated and it is described as a new species, Scytalidium acidophilum.

Acidophilic Soil Actinomycetes

Microbiology, 2002
A clear-cut dependence of the distribution of acidophilic actinomycetes on the pH value of soil was established. Acidophilic actinomycetes were found to be present in soils whose pH does not exceed 6.8 (acid forest soils, lowland peaty soil, and ordinary chernozem) and not in slightly alkaline soils (chestnut sodic and alluvial meadow soils).

Acidophilic sulfur disproportionation

Geochimica et Cosmochimica Acta, 2013
Abstract Bacterial disproportionation of elemental sulfur (S 0 ) is a well-studied metabolism and is not previously reported to occur at pH values less than 4.5. In this study, a sediment core from an abandoned-coal-mine-waste deposit in Southwest Indiana revealed sulfur isotope fractionations between S 0 and pyrite (Δ 34 S es-py ) of up to −35 ...
