The acidithiobacilli are sulfur-oxidizing acidophilic bacteria that thrive in both natural and
anthropogenic low pH environments. They contribute to processes that lead to the generation …

The genus Acidithiobacillus comprises several species of Gram-negative acidophilic
bacteria that thrive in natural and man-made low pH environments in a variety of geo-climatic …

Background Normalization is a prerequisite for accurate real time PCR (qPCR) expression
analysis and for the validation of microarray profiling data in microbial systems. The choice …

Type IV CRISPR-Cas are a distinct variety of highly derived CRISPR-Cas systems that appear
to have evolved from type III systems through the loss of the target-cleaving nuclease and …

Background Acidithiobacillus caldus is a sulfur oxidizing extreme acidophile and the only
known mesothermophile within the Acidithiobacillales. As such, it is one of the preferred …

The family Acidiferrobacteraceae (order Acidiferrobacterales) currently contains Gram negative,
neutrophilic sulfur oxidizers such as Sulfuricaulis and Sulfurifustis, as well as acidophilic …

The composition of the vaginal microbiome, including both the presence of pathogens
involved in sexually transmitted infections (STI) as well as commensal microbiota, has been …

This work shows that the recently described Escherichia coli BtuE peroxidase protects the
bacterium against oxidative stress that is generated by tellurite and by other reactive oxygen …

The emergence of SARS-CoV-2 variants of concern endangers the long-term control of
COVID-19, especially in countries with limited genomic surveillance. In this work, we explored …

Leptospirillum ferriphilum Sp-Cl is a Gram negative, thermotolerant, curved, rod-shaped
bacterium, isolated from an industrial bioleaching operation in northern Chile, where chalcocite …
