Acidithiobacillales

	Acidithiobacillales The ''Acidithiobacillales'' are an order of bacteria within the class '' Acidithiobacillia'' and comprises the genera ''Acidithiobacillus'' and ''Thermithiobacillus''. Originally, both were included in the genus '' Thiobacillus'', but they are not related to the type species, which belongs to the '' Betaproteobacteria''.Kelly (D.P.) and Wood (A.P.): ''Reclassification of some species of Thiobacillus to the newly designated genera Acidithiobacillus gen. nov., Halothiobacillus gen. nov. and Thermithiobacillus gen. nov.''

	Acidithiobacillaceae ''Acidithiobacillus'' is a genus of the '' Acidithiobacillia'' in the phylum "'' Pseudomonadota''". This genus includes ten species of acidophilic microorganisms capable of sulfur and/or iron oxidation: ''Acidithiobacillus albertensis, Acidithiobacillus caldus, Acidithiobacillus cuprithermicus, Acidithiobacillus ferrianus, Acidithiobacillus ferridurans, Acidithiobacillus ferriphilus, Acidithiobacillus ferrivorans, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, Acidithiobacillus sulfuriphilus,'' and ''Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans.'' ''A. ferooxidans'' is the most widely studied of the genus, but ''A. caldus'' and ''A. thiooxidans'' are also significant in research. Like all ''"Pseudomonadota"'', ''Acidithiobacillus'' spp. are Gram-negative and non-spore forming. They also play a significant role in the generation of acid mine drainage; a major global environmental challenge within the mining industry. Some species of ''Acidithiobacillus'' are utilized in bioleaching and biomining. A portion of ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Acidithiobacillia ''Acidithiobacillia'' is a class of the phylum '' Pseudomonadota'' ("Proteobacteria"). Its type order, the ''Acidithiobacillales'', was formerly classified within the '' Gammaproteobacteria'', and comprises two families of sulfur-oxidising autotrophs, the ''Acidithiobacillaceae'' and the '' Thermithiobacillaceae'', which in turn include the genera ''Acidithiobacillus ''Acidithiobacillus'' is a genus of the '' Acidithiobacillia'' in the phylum "'' Pseudomonadota''". This genus includes ten species of acidophilic microorganisms capable of sulfur and/or iron oxidation: ''Acidithiobacillus albertensis, Acidithiob ...'' and '' Thermithiobacillus''. Acidithiobacilia is part of the acidophilic bacteria family. Acidithiobacilia's metabolic activity is important because it is relied on for a approach for metal recovery from ores, called microorganism-mediated biohydrometallurgy. Acidithiobacilia and family of bacteria are active players in the sulfur and iron biogeochemical cycles in e ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Thermithiobacillaceae ''Thermithiobacillus'' is a genus of nonsporeforming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria. The name derives from the Latin ''thermae'', for warm baths, and the Classical Greek θείος, ''theios'' for sulfur. The type species of this genus was previously assigned to the genus '' Thiobacillus'', but it was reclassified on the basis of 16S rRNA analysis in 2000, creating this genus. A phylogenetic analysis, using 98 protein families confirmed this reassignment. This chemolithoautotrophic genus is obligately aerobic and moderately thermophilic (43-45 °C). The type species is ''Thermithiobacillus tepidarius''. A second species, ''Thermithiobacillus plumbiphilus ''Thermithiobacillus'' is a genus of nonsporeforming, Rod-shaped bacteria, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria. The name derives from the Latin ''thermae'', for warm baths, and the Classical Greek language, Greek θείος, ''theios'' for sulfur. ...,'' was published in 2016. References External linksType s ...

	Thiobacillus ''Thiobacillus'' is a genus of Gram-negative Betaproteobacteria. ''Thiobacillus thioparus'' is the type species of the genus, and the type strain thereof is the StarkeyT strain, isolated by Robert Starkey in the 1930s from a field at Rutgers University in the United States of America. While over 30 "species" have been named in this genus since it was defined by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904, (the first strain was observed by the biological oceanographer Alexander Nathansohn in 1902 - likely what we would now call '' Halothiobacillus neapolitanus''), most names were never validly or effectively published. The remainder were either reclassified into '' Paracoccus'', '' Starkeya'' (both in the Alphaproteobacteria); ''Sulfuriferula'', '' Annwoodia'', '' Thiomonas'' (in the Betaproteobacteria); '' Halothiobacillus'', '' Guyparkeria'' (in the Gammaproteobacteria), or ''Thermithiobacillus'' or ''Acidithiobacillus'' (in the Acidithiobacillia). The very loosely defined "species" ''Thio ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Betaproteobacteria ''Betaproteobacteria'' are a class of Gram-negative bacteria, and one of the six classes of the phylum '' Pseudomonadota'' (synonym Proteobacteria). Metabolism The ''Betaproteobacteria'' comprise over 75 genera and 400 species. Together, they represent a broad variety of metabolic strategies and occupy diverse environments, ranging from obligate pathogens living within host organisms to oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems. Whilst most members of the ''Betaproteobacteria'' are heterotrophic, deriving both their carbon and electrons from organocarbon sources, some are photoheterotrophic, deriving energy from light and carbon from organocarbon sources. Other genera are autotrophic, deriving their carbon from bicarbonate or carbon dioxide and their electrons from reduced inorganic ions such as nitrite, ammonium, thiosulfate or sulfide — many of these chemolithoautotrophic. ''Betaproteobacteria'' are economically important, with roles in maintaining soil pH and in elementa ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
