Names Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans DSM 10331
Accession numbers NC_013124
Background Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans (strain DSM 10331 / JCM 15462 / NBRC 103882 / ICP) is a moderately thermophilic, ferrous-iron-oxidizing acidophile Gram-positive bacterium isolated from hot spring runoff in Iceland. This organism is able to oxidize ferrous iron to ferric iron. The optimal growth temperature for A.ferrooxidans is 48 degrees Celsius (Adapted from PMID: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?Db=genomeprj&cmd=ShowDetailView&TermToSearch=29525). (EBI Integr8)
