The Essential Role of OmpR in <i>Acidithiobacillus caldus</i> Adapting to the High Osmolarity and Its Regulation on the Tetrathionate-Metabolic Pathway

<i>Acidithiobacillus</i> spp. are prevalent in acid mine drainage, and they have been widely used in biomining for extracting nonferrous metals from ores. The osmotic stress generated by elevated concentrations of inorganic ions is a severe challenge for the growth of <i>Acidithiob...
