Multiple osmotic stress responses in acidihalobacter prosperus result in tolerance to chloride ions
Extremely acidophilic microorganisms (pH optima for growth of =3) are utilized for the extraction of metals from sulfide minerals in the industrial biotechnology of "biomining." A long term goal for biomining has been development of microbial consortia able to withstand increased chloride...
