Bioleaching of metal sulfides is performed by diverse microorganisms. The dissolution of
metal sulfides occurs via two chemical pathways, either the thiosulfate or the polysulfide …

Biochemical oxidation and reduction are the principle of biological water and wastewater
treatment, in which electron donor and/or acceptor shall be provided. Elemental sulfur (S 0) …

The development of enzymes for industrial applications relies heavily on the use of
microorganisms. The intrinsic properties of microbial enzymes, eg, consistency …

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 …

The energy metabolism of essential microbial guilds in the biogeochemical sulfur cycle is
based on a DsrAB-type dissimilatory (bi) sulfite reductase that either catalyzes the reduction …

Lithotrophic sulfur oxidation is an ancient metabolic process. Ecologically and taxonomically
diverged prokaryotes have differential abilities to utilize different reduced sulfur compounds …

Practical Handbook of Microbiology, 4th edition provides basic, clear and concise
knowledge and practical information about working with microorganisms. Useful to anyone …

Sulfur (S) is a crucial component in the environment and living organisms. This work is the
first attempt to provide an overview and critical discussion on the roles, mechanisms, and …

Recent biochemical and genomic data differentiate the sulfur oxidation pathway of Archaea
from those of Bacteria. From these data it is evident that members of the Alphaproteobacteria …
