“…Furthermore, many studies on bioleaching have shown that mixed cultures of acidophiles are frequently more efficient in oxidizing sulfide minerals than corresponding pure cultures (Norris et al 1996;Johnson, 1998). Therefore, it is necessary to understand the microbial community structure in different AMD system, which can improve the metal recovery of bioleaching.…”

Basaltic ocean crust has the potential to host one of the largest endolithic communities on Earth. This portion of the biosphere, however, remains largely unexplored. In this study, we utilize molecular biological, microscopic, and geochemical tools to gain a better understanding of the geomicrobiology of the ocean crust. Specifically, we examine the phylogenetic diversity of microorganisms inhabiting basaltic lavas, the activities and abundances of these microorganisms, the spatial extent of the biosphere, and the potential effect that microbial activity has on the geochemistry of the ocean crust and overlying water column.Our study demonstrates that young, fresh volcanic lavas near mid-ocean ridges host an incredibly diverse and dense population of microorganisms dominated by Bacteria, quite distinct from the microbial communities found in surrounding deep seawater and hydrothermal vents. Furthermore, these communities may contribute to the elemental cycling of Fe, S, Mn, N, and C in this environment. The inability to definitively identify microorganisms in drill-cores of old (> 15 Ma) ocean crust, however, implies that these once prolific communities may become scarce as the crust ages and moves further away from the ridge axis. Finally, we provide evidence suggesting that these communities are fueled by oxidative alteration reactions occurring in the basaltic crust.

“…Sulfobacilli are thermo-acidophilic and have been reported to possess ω-cyclohexane fatty acid as a major lipid component, but they differ in nutrition from alicyclobacilli as they are facultatively chemolithotrophic (Dufresne et al, 1996 ;Golovacheva & Karavailo, 1978 ;Norris et al, 1996).…”
