Redox transformations of iron at extremely low pH: fundamental and applied aspects
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012 Many different species of acidophilic prokaryotes, widely distributed within the domains Bacteria and Archaea, can catalyze the dissimilatory oxidation of ferrous iron or reduction of ferric iron, or can do both.

The Flexible Genome of Acidophilic Prokaryotes
Current Issues in Molecular Biology, 2021 Over the last couple of decades there has been considerable progress in the identification and understanding of the mobile genetic elements that are exchanged between microbes in extremely acidic environments, and of the genes piggybacking on them. Numerous plasmid families, unique viruses of bizarre morphologies and lyfe cycles, as well as plasmid ...

Novel Microorganisms Contribute to Biosulfidogenesis in the Deep Layer of an Acidic Pit Lake
Frontiers in Bioengineering and Biotechnology, 2022 Cueva de la Mora is a permanently stratified acidic pit lake with extremely high concentrations of heavy metals at depth. In order to evaluate the potential for in situ sulfide production, we characterized the microbial community in the deep layer using ...

Eukaryotic diversity at pH extremes
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2013 Extremely acidic (pH<3) and extremely alkaline (pH>9) environments support a diversity of single-cell and to a lesser extent, multicellular eukaryotic life.

Acidophil bodies in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis [PDF]
Human Pathology, 2016 The significance of the quantity of acidophil bodies (AB) in nonalcoholic steatohepatitis (NASH) is not certain. We quantified AB in liver biopsies and examined the association with the diagnosis of NASH and other histologic features. We reviewed 157 liver biopsies from the NASH Clinical Research Network Database collected in 2006.

Defining pH-associated ecological clusters and their responses to agricultural intensification
GeodermaSoil pH is a major factor influencing the participation of soil microorganisms in biogeochemical processes. However, different microbial taxa exhibit varied responses to pH levels, and their ecological functions remain unclear.
