AcidopHiles : a not- so-basic life
… at time even more corrosive than battery acid. Acidophiles are microbes, and live together in hugely diverse ecosystems. Each species of acidophile fills a different niche. They survive in high acid environments using a number of methods, including a highly active proton pump, or five-ring …

Genome Sequence Analysis and Characterization of Recombinant Enzymes from the Thermoacidophilic Archaeon Picrophilus torridus
Picrophilus torridus ist ein thermo- und acidophiles Archaebacterium, welches mit seinen Wachstumsoptimum bei 60 °C und pH 0,7 den bislang acidophilsten bekannten Organismus repräsentiert. Im Rahmen dieser Arbeit wurde das komplette Genom von P. torridus sequenziert und im Anschluss die …

High-power acid Biophotovoltaic cells for the generation of green electricity
… in chapters 4 and 5 explores the extent to which acidophiles may be used as the biological material in MFCs. A search to find a set of naturally-occurring, metallotolerant acidophiles is undertaken throughout the Rio Tinto ecosystem, selected for its unique extreme physicochemical nature and …

Characterization of the thermostable nature of the alpha and beta tubulin proteins in Cyanidium caldarium and Cyanidioschyzon merolae
… and Cyanidioschyzon merolae. These thermophilic acidophiles have been discovered in volcanic vents around the globe from Yellow Stone Park to Italy and grow at optimal temperatures of around 55°C. These organisms have been primarily studied in the context of evolutionary biology because of their …

Functional Analysis of Novel Replication Protein a Homologs in the Euryarchaeota: Implications in the Evolution of Single -Stranded DNA Binding Proteins Across the Three Domains of Life
… mesophiles, halophiles, sulfate reducers, acidophiles, and methanogens, have reinvented RPAs many times and in the ensuing research molecular and biochemical approaches are used to study the structure and function of candidate RPAs from three archaeal species of distinct ecological niches. …

Growth of mixed cultures of moderate thermophiles for commercial heap bioleaching of low-grade copper-sulphide ores
… 55 °C owing to less biodiversity and activity of acidophiles in this temperature range. This work shows microbial succession at 50 °C. Sulphur-oxidisers dominate first as sulphur oxidation produces more energy for biomass growth than iron oxidation. Sulphur oxidation produces the heat required to …

Insights into communities, metabolic and ecological potential of the bacteria of two extreme acidic environments
This work examines the microbial communities in two extremely acidic habitats:the terrestrial environment of the Paint Pots Mound (Kootenay National Park, BritishColumbia, Canada) and the sediments of an ultra-acidic lake in the Smoking Hills (CapeBathurst, Northwest Territories, Canada) area. …
