is part of the acidophilic bacteria family. Acidithiobacilia's metabolic activity is important because it is relied on for an approach for metal recovery from ores, called microorganism-mediated biohydrometallurgy. Acidithiobacilia and family of bacteria are active players in the sulfur and iron biogeochemical cycles in extremely acidic environments and drivers of the leaching of mineral ores contributing to acid rock/mine drainage and industrial bioleaching.
