Sulfur Oxidation in the Acidophilic Autotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp.

Sulfur Oxidation in the Acidophilic Autotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp.

Sulfur oxidation is an essential component of the earth’s sulfur cycle. Acidithiobacillus spp. can oxidize various reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) with high efficiency to obtain electrons for their autotrophic growth. Strains in this genus have been widely applied in bioleaching and biolo...
