<- N. J. Coram, University of Stellenbosch, Department of Microbiology, Matieland, South Africa; ATCC 49881 <- ATCC; <- W. Sand, Universitaet Hamburg, Dept. Mikrobiologie und Biotechnologie; P3A. Enrichment culture. Peru (8395), Lima. Type strain.. Taxonomy/description (8394, 8395, 8539). Sequence accession no. 16S rRNA gene: AF356829, whole genome shotgun sequence: JPGK00000000. DNA-DNA similarity (8394). Bioleaching of metals from minerals (8395). (Medium 882 with strain-specific modifications, incubation time: 7-14 days, 37°C). Growth takes place without visible increase in turbidity, hence proliferation of cells has to be checked using phase contrast microscopy.
