Summary Introduction
Introduction:
Acidithiobacilus ferrooxidans is a gram negative proteobactrium, which grows under high temperature (30oC) and very low pH (pH 1-2). It is present in natural abundantly and associated with pyritic ore bodies, coal deposits and acidified drainages. A. ferroxidans is the few rare bacterium which gain energy by oxidation of ferrous ion and reduced sulfur compounds. Bioleaching or biohydrometallurgy is one of its industrial application.
