Unlocking Survival Mechanisms for Metal and Oxidative Stress in the Extremely Acidophilic, Halotolerant <i>Acidihalobacter</i> Genus

Unlocking Survival Mechanisms for Metal and Oxidative Stress in the Extremely Acidophilic, Halotolerant <i>Acidihalobacter</i> Genus

Microorganisms used for the biohydrometallurgical extraction of metals from minerals must be able to survive high levels of metal and oxidative stress found in bioleaching environments. The <i>Acidihalobacter</i> genus consists of four species of halotolerant, iron–sulfur-oxidizing acido...
