Acidithiobacillales
The Acidithiobacillales are an order of bacteria within the class ''Acidithiobacillia'' and comprises the genera ''Acidithiobacillus'' and ''Thermithiobacillus''. Originally, both were included in the genus ''Thiobacillus'', but they are not related to the type species, which belongs to the ''Betaproteobacteria Betaproteobacteria are a class of Gram-negative bacteria, and one of the eight classes of the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria).

Acidithiobacillaceae
''Acidithiobacillus'' is a genus of the ''Acidithiobacillia'' in the "Pseudomonadota". The genus includes acidophilic organisms capable of iron and/or sulfur oxidation. Like all ''"Pseudomonadota"'', ''Acidithiobacillus'' spp. are Gram-negative. They are also important generators of acid mine drainage, which is a major environmental problem around the world in mining. Genus ''Acidithiobacillus'' ''Acidithiobacillus'' are acidophilic obligate autotrophs (''Acidithiobacillus caldus'' can also grow mixotrophically) that use elementary sulfur, tetrathionate and ferrous iron as electron donors. They assimilate carbon from carbon dioxide using the transaldolase variant of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. The genus comprises motile, rod-shaped cells that can be isolated from low pH environments including low pH microenvironments on otherwise neutral mineral grains. Phylogeny The order Acidithiobacillales (i.e. ''Thermithiobacillus'') were formerly members of the ''Gammaproteobacteri ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Acidithiobacillia
Acidithiobacillia is a class of the "''Pseudomonadota''". Its type order, the ''Acidithiobacillales'', was formerly classified within the ''Gammaproteobacteria'', and comprises two families of sulfur-oxidising autotrophs, the ''Acidithiobacillaceae'' and the ''Thermithiobacillaceae'', which in turn include the genera ''Acidithiobacillus'' and ''Thermithiobacillus ''Thermithiobacillus'' is a genus of nonsporeforming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria.

Thermithiobacillaceae
''Thermithiobacillus'' is a genus of nonsporeforming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria. The name derives from the Latin ''thermae'', for warm baths, and the Classical Greek θείος, ''theios'' for sulfur. The type species of this genus was previously assigned to the genus ''Thiobacillus'', but it was reclassified on the basis of 16S rRNA analysis in 2000, creating this genus. A phylogenetic analysis, using 98 protein families confirmed this reassignment. This chemolithoautotrophic genus is obligately aerobic and moderately thermophilic (43-45 °C). The type species is Thermithiobacillus tepidarius (''Thermithiobacillus tepidarius''). ''Thermithiobacillus plumbiphilus ''Thermithiobacillus'' is a genus of nonsporeforming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative bacteria.

Thiobacillus
''Thiobacillus'' is a genus of Gram-negative Betaproteobacteria. '' Thiobacillus thioparus'' is the type species of the genus, and the type strain thereof is the StarkeyT strain, isolated by Robert Starkey in the 1930s from a field at Rutgers University in the United States of America. While over 30 "species" have been named in this genus since it was defined by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904, (the first strain was observed by the biological oceanographer Alexander Nathansohn in 1902 - likely what we would now call ''Halothiobacillus neapolitanus''), most names were never validly or effectively published. The remainder were either reclassified into ''Paracoccus'', '' Starkeya'' (both in the Alphaproteobacteria); '' Sulfuriferula'', ''Annwoodia'', ''Thiomonas'' (in the Betaproteobacteria); ''Halothiobacillus'', ''Guyparkeria'' (in the Gammaproteobacteria), or ''Thermithiobacillus'' or ''Acidithiobacillus'' (in the Acidithiobacillia).

Betaproteobacteria
Betaproteobacteria are a class of Gram-negative bacteria, and one of the eight classes of the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). The ''Betaproteobacteria'' are a class comprising over 75 genera and 400 species of bacteria. Together, the ''Betaproteobacteria'' represent a broad variety of metabolic strategies and occupy diverse environments from obligate pathogens living within host organisms to oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems. Whilst most members of the ''Betaproteobacteria'' are heterotrophic, deriving both their carbon and electrons from organocarbon sources, some are photoheterotrophic, deriving energy from light and carbon from organocarbon sources. Other genera are autotrophic, deriving their carbon from bicarbonate or carbon dioxide and their electrons from reduced inorganic ions such as nitrite, ammonium, thiosulfate or sulfide — many of these chemolithoautotrophic. ''Betaproteobacteria'' are economically important, with roles in maintaining soil p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
