• Year of publication: 2011
• Type: Conference abstract
• MU Faculty or unit: Faculty of Science
• Description: Proteomic and kinetic studies in A. ferrooxidans concluded that the iron-oxidizing activity remained necessary for bacteria which were adapted to elemental sulfur oxidation. Toxicity of free iron and iron precipitates was investigated.
