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.

Chemotactic transduction in biomining microorganisms
Hydrometallurgy, 2001 The oxidative attack of ores by bioleaching microorganisms requires that the cells adhere to specific sites on the surface of the minerals. This attachment will depend on the sensing by the microoganisms of a dissolved ion concentration gradient present in the immediate vicinity of the solid. Chemotactic responses towards metal ions and other compounds
