  • Title: Thiobacillus ferrooxidans detection using immunoelectron microscopy.
    Author: Coto O, Fernández AI, León T, Rodríguez D.
    Journal: Microbiologia; 1992 Nov; 8(2):76-81. PubMed ID: 1492954.
    Abstract:
    A specific, fast and very sensitive immunoelectron microscopy method was developed to morphologically and serologically distinguish different cultures of iron oxidizers. Bacteria isolated from the acidic waters of "Matahambre" and "Mina Delita" mines (Cuba) were characterized. An antiserum specific to Thiobacillus ferrooxidans did not react with other bacteria also present in the acidic waters of mine drainage. Our results suggest the occurrence of some strains of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans in these waters.
