Application | Comment | Organism |
---|---|---|
industry | Acidithiobacillus caldus is widely used in bio-leaching. It gains energy and electrons from oxidation of elemental sulfur and reduced inorganic sulfur compounds (RISCs) for carbon dioxide fixation and growth. Its sulfur oxidation system involves a truncated sulfur oxidation (Sox) system (omitting SoxCD), nonSox sulfur oxidation system similar to the sulfur oxidation in A. ferrooxidans, and sulfur oxygenase reductase (SOR) | Acidithiobacillus caldus |
