With global demands for mineral resources increasing and ore grades decreasing,
microorganisms have been increasingly deployed in biomining applications to recover …

Extreme acidophiles thrive in environments rich in protons (pH values< 3) and often high
levels of dissolved heavy metals. They are distributed across the three domains of the Tree …

Biomining processes utilize microorganisms, such as Acidithiobacillus, to extract valuable
metals by producing sulfuric acid and ferric ions that dissolve sulfidic minerals. However …

The recent revision of the Acidithiobacillia class using genomic taxonomy methods has
shown that, in addition to the existence of previously unrecognized genera and species …

Microbiologically driven acidic pollution of coal gangue has become a major environmental
problem in coal gangue dumps in coal mining areas. Addition of bactericides and sulphate …

Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a chemotrophic, aerobic, acidophilic, and Gram-negative
bacterium that plays a key role in iron and sulfur cycling and has a wide range of …

Coal gangue is a solid waste formed during coal production, and the acid mine drainage it
generates during open-pit storage severely pollutes the ecological environment of mining …

Acidic pollution from gangue oxidation has become a primary environmental problem in coal
mining areas in China. The use of microorganisms to remediate acidic pollution in coal …

Acidification pollution from coal gangue is one of the main pollution sources in coal mining
areas, and it is produced by the catalytic oxidation of sulfide in coal gangue by oxidizing …

Several species within the Acidithiobacillus (At.) genus can derive energy from oxidizing
ferrous iron and sulfur. Two bacterial strains according to their 16S rRNA gene sequences …
