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
