Abstract
Novel iron- and sulfur-oxidizing, moderate thermophiles were isolated from an acidic geothermal site and from a previously studied, pyrite-enrichment mixed culture (which also contained the related actinobacterium Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans). The novel species (proposed genus "Acidithiomicrobium") grew autotrophically with ferrous iron at an optimum temperature of about 50 degrees C, efficiently degraded pyrite at 55 degrees C and also grew well autotrophically on sulfur. The extensive dissolution or pyrite during autotrophic growth contrasted with a requirement for yeast extract for significant growth of the related Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans.
