Insights into the Metabolism and Evolution of the Genus <italic toggle="yes">Acidiphilium</italic>, a Typical Acidophile in Acid Mine Drainage

ABSTRACT Here, we report three new Acidiphilium genomes, reclassified existing Acidiphilium species, and performed the first comparative genomic analysis on Acidiphilium in an attempt to address the metabolic potential, ecological functions, and evolutionary history of the genus Acidiphilium. In the...
