Flavin-based electron bifurcation is a newly discovered mechanism, by which a hydride
electron pair from NAD (P) H, coenzyme F420H2, H2, or formate is split by flavoproteins into …

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 …

High-throughput sequencing is expanding our knowledge of microbial diversity in the
environment. Still, understanding the metabolic potentials and ecological roles of rare and …

Extremely acidic, sulfur‐rich environments can be natural, such as solfatara fields in
geothermal and volcanic areas, or anthropogenic, such as acid mine drainage waters. Many …

Background Deep neural networks have been successfully applied to diverse fields of
computer vision. However, they only outperform human capacities in a few cases. Methods …

Concrete corrosion is one of the most significant problems affecting valuable sewer
infrastructure on a global scale. This problem occurs in the aerobic zone of the sewer, where …

In an attempt to link the microbial community composition and function in mine tailings to the
generation of acid mine drainage, we simultaneously explored the geochemistry and …

Gene transcription (microarrays) and protein levels (proteomics) were compared in cultures
of the acidophilic chemolithotroph Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans grown on elemental sulfur …

In natural environments microorganisms commonly exist as communities of multiple species
that are capable of performing more varied and complicated tasks than clonal populations …

Background Terrestrial hot spring settings span a broad spectrum of physicochemistries.
Physicochemical parameters, such as pH and temperature, are key factors influencing …
