Acidithiobacillus caldus (A. caldus) is widely used in bio-leaching. It gains energy and electrons from oxidation of elemental sulfur reduced inorganic compounds (RISCs) for carbon dioxide fixation growth. Genomic analyses suggest that its system involves a truncated (Sox) (omitting SoxCD), non-Sox similar to the A. ferrooxidans, oxygenase reductase (SOR). The complexity generates big obstacle on research mechanism. However, development genetic manipulation method recent years provides...
Microbial nest system (MNS) represents a novel and efficient approach to treating solid-liquid mixture from pig farming instead of the conventional method, which separates solid liquid at first by using centrifugation then treats respectively. However, key environmental factors influencing efficiency this microbial structure are still not clear. This study aimed elucidate changes MNS in physicochemical properties, spectral analysis, correlations between community structures during treatment....
Chromium contamination has been an increasing threat to the environment and human health. Cr(VI) Cr(III) are most common states of chromium. However, compared with Cr(III), is more toxic easily absorbed, therefore, it harmful beings. Thus, conversion into accepted strategy for chromium detoxification. Here, we isolated two Bacillus cereus strains a high tolerance reduction ability, named B. D 332, respectively. Both demonstrated strong pH temperature adaptability survival under 8 mM Cr(VI)....
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is an acidophilic and chemolithotrophic sulfur- iron-oxidizing bacterium that has been widely used in the bioleaching process for extracting metals. Extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) are essential bacteria-ore interactions, regulation of EPS synthesis could be important way influencing efficiency process. Therefore, exploring utilizing regulatory pathways to improve bacterial capability have posed a challenge study application bacteria. Here, several...
Acidithiobacillus caldus (A. caldus) is a common bioleaching bacterium that possesses sophisticated and highly efficient inorganic sulfur compound metabolism network. Thiosulfate, central intermediate in the network of A. other sulfur-oxidizing microorganisms, can be metabolized via tetrathionate (S4I) pathway catalyzed by thiosulfate:quinol oxidoreductase (Tqo or DoxDA) hydrolase (TetH). In caldus, there an additional two-component system called RsrS-RsrR. Since rsrS rsrR are arranged as...
Acidithiobacillus caldus is a chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium that widely used for bioleaching processes. spp. are suggested to contain sulfur dioxygenases (SDOs) facilitate oxidation. In this study, two putative sdo genes (A5904_0421 and A5904_1112) were detected in the genome of A. MTH-04 by BLASTP searching with previously identified SDO (A5904_0790). We cloned expressed these genes, activity recombinant protein A5904_0421 GSH-dependent vitro assay. Phylogenetic analysis...
Effect of imatinib on rats with spinal cord injury (SCI) was investigated through the nuclear factor erythroid 2-related 2 (Nrf2)/heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) signaling pathway. Forty-eight Sprague-Dawley were randomly divided into sham operation group (n=12), model (n=12) and inhibitor (n=12). The results immunohistochemistry showed that in comparison group, other three groups had overtly increased positive expression level Bax evidently reduced Bcl-2 (P<0.05). Compared those distinctly lower,...
Acidophiles play a dominant role in driving elemental cycling natural acid mine drainage (AMD) habitats and exhibit important application value bioleaching bioremediation. Acidity is an inevitable environmental stress key factor that affects the survival of acidophiles their acidified habitats; however, regulatory strategies applied by acidophilic bacteria to withstand low pH are unclear. We identified significance ferric uptake regulator (Fur) adapting acidic environments discovered Fur...
A LuxI/R-like quorum sensing (QS) system (AfeI/R) has been reported in the acidophilic and chemoautotrophic Acidithiobacillus spp. However, function of AfeI/R remains unclear because difficulties genetic manipulation these bacteria.
