Abstract: Copper (Cu) resistance among various microorganisms is attracting interest. The chemolithoautotrophic bacterium A. caldus, which can tolerate extreme copper stress (≥10 g/L Cu ions), is typically used to bioleach chalcopyrite (CuFeS2). ABSTRACT Acidithiobacillus caldus is… read more here.
