Molecular Basis of Bacterial Outer Membrane Permeability Revisited (2003, background): “A major trimeric porin was sequenced ( 234 ) from an acidophilic , obligate lithotroph , Thio - bacillus ( now Acidithiobacillus [ 332 ] ) ferrooxidans , which be - longs to the ␥ branch according to the 16S rRNA sequence ( 332 ) .”
MICROORGANISMS INVOLVED IN BIOLEACHING AND NUCLEIC ACID-BASED MOLECULAR METHODS FOR THEIR IDENTIFICATION AND QUANTIFICATION (2007, background): “The genus Acidithiobacillus was proposed by Kelly & Wood (2000) after reclassification of some species of the genus Thiobacillus.”
Bioleaching review part B: (2003, background): “Recently, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, and Thiobacillus caldus, as well as T. ferrooxidans were reassigned to the new genus Acidithiobacillus (Kelly and Wood 2000).”
Biologically Induced Mineralization by Bacteria (2003, background): “…by organisms, such as the mesophilic, autotrophic Bacteria Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans (formerly Thiobacillus ferrooxidans) (Kelly and Wood 2000) or Leptospirillum spp., that oxidize Fe(II), may be more important in iron oxyhydroxide precipitation (Fortin and Beveridge 2000; Southam…”
