Abstract
A chemoautotrophic, thermophilic, and acidophilic microorganism capable of oxidizing reduced sulfur and iron compounds and leaching concentrates of molybdenite and chalcopyrite at 60 degrees C has been characterized by transmission and scanning electron microscopy. This constitutes the first direct observations of microorganisms on ore fines.Entities:
