Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a chemolithoautotrophic, mesophilic Gram-negative bacterium able to oxidize ferrous iron, sulfur, and metal sulfides. It forms monolayer biofilms where extracellular polymeric substances are essential for cell attachment and metal sulfide leaching. High-throughput proteomics has been applied to

In contrast to iron-oxidizing Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, A. ferrooxidans from a stationary phase elemental sulfur-oxidizing culture exhibited a lag phase in pyrite oxidation, which is similar to its behaviour during ferrous iron oxidation. The ability of elemental sulfur-oxidizing A. ferrooxidans to
