The name Leptospirillum ferrooxidans is not in the Approved Lists of Bacterial Names (1980), nor has it been subsequently validly published. In accordance with the rules of the International Code of Nomenclature of Bacteria, the name Leptospirillum for the genus (gen. nov., nom. rev.) and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans for the species (sp. nov., nom. rev.) is revived here. The type species is Leptospirillum ferrooxidans strain L15T (= DSM 2705T). The second species in the genus is Leptospirillum…

Dissulfurispira thermophila gen. nov., sp. nov., a thermophilic chemolithoautotroph growing by sulfur disproportionation, and proposal of novel taxa in the phylum Nitrospirota to reclassify the genus Thermodesulfovibrio.
Molecular Relationship between Two Groups of the Genus Leptospirillum and the Finding that Leptospirillum ferriphilum sp. nov. Dominates South African Commercial Biooxidation Tanks That Operate at 40°C
TLDR
It is proposed that the group II leptospirilla should be recognized as a separate species with the name LeptospIRillum ferriphilum sp.
Evaluation of Leptospirillum spp. in the Río Tinto, a model of interest to biohydrometallurgy
New Group in the Leptospirillum Clade: Cultivation-Independent Community Genomics, Proteomics, and Transcriptomics of the New Species “Leptospirillum Group IV UBA BS”
TLDR
Results suggest that the Leptospirillum group IV UBA BS species might play important roles in carbon fixation, nitrogen fixation, hydrogen metabolism, and iron oxidation in some acidic environments.
Draft genome sequence of chloride-tolerant Leptospirillum ferriphilum Sp-Cl from industrial bioleaching operations in northern Chile
TLDR
Release of the genome sequence of this strain will provide further understanding of the mechanisms used by acidophilic bacteria to endure high osmotic stress and high chloride levels and of the role of chloride-tolerant iron-oxidizers in industrial bioleaching operations.
A new strain Leptospirillum ferriphilum YTW315 for bioleaching of metal sulfides ores
Nitrogenase activity (acetylene reduction) of an iron-oxidizing leptospirillum strain cultured as a pioneer microbe from a recent volcanic deposit on miyake-jima, Japan.
TLDR
The isolation of iron-oxidizing bacteria closely related to Leptospirillum ferrooxidans from an acidic volcanic ash deposit on the island of Miyake (Miyake-jima), Japan is described.
Isolation and identification of a strain ofLeptospirillum ferriphilum from an extreme acid mine drainage site
Based on a new selective isolation strategy that mimicked physiological characteristics of leptospirilla, such as pH, temperature and its less sensitivity to the high ferric-ferrous iron ratio, a…
Isolation of Leptospirillum ferriphilum by single-layered solid medium
According to physiological and biochemical characteristics of Leptospirillum ferriphilum, a strain of object bacteria was isolated successfully. Bacteria were enriched by selective liquid medium and…
Culture-independent characterization of a novel, uncultivated magnetotactic member of the Nitrospirae phylum.
TLDR
Chemical and cell profiles of a microcosm containing water and sediment show that cells of strain LO-1 are confined to the oxic-anoxic interface and the upper regions of the anaerobic zone which in this case, occurred in the sediment.

Evaluation of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans for Leaching
TLDR
Physiological investigations indicate that L. ferrooxidans is a strict chemolithoautotroph, metabolizing only ferrous iron and pyrite, and for indirect leaching, L.FerrooxIDans is as important as T. fer rooxidan for direct leaching.
Evolutionary relationships among sulfur- and iron-oxidizing eubacteria
TLDR
A picture is emerging of an evolutionary widespread capacity for sulfur and/or iron oxidation among the eubacteria, with three unnamed facultatively thermophilic iron-oxidizing isolates exhibiting no clear phylum level affiliation at all.
Isolation and study of two strains ofLeptospirillum-like bacteria from a natural mixed population cultured on a cobaltiferous pyrite substrate
Two strains ofLeptospirillum-like bacteria, L6 and L8, have been isolated from a mixed inoculum, also containingThiobacillus ferrooxidans andT. thiooxidans, cultured for one year with a…
Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and similar bacteria: Some characteristics and genomic diversity
TLDR
The morphology and the mol% GC values of the isolates have indicated at least one or two groups of apparently similar bacteria, readily identifiable and distinct from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
Molecular Cloning, Sequencing, and Expression of a Chemoreceptor Gene from Leptospirillum ferrooxidans
TLDR
A cytoplasmic domain is proposed for LcrI, which also contains the highly conserved domain (HCD region), present in all of the chemotactic receptors, and two probable methylation sites.
Physiological characteristics of thiobacillus ferrooxidans and leptospirillum ferrooxidans and physicochemical factors influence microbial metal leaching
TLDR
Considering the porous system of an ore particle in a humid environment, high ferric ion concn.
LIPOPOLYSACCHARIDES OF IRON-OXIDIZING LEPTOSPIRILLUM FERROOXIDANS AND THIOBAGILLUS FERROOXIDANS
TLDR
The chemical properties of the lipopolysaccharide was unaffected by the energy source utilized, and presumably the lipid A contains a glucosamine backbone.
Cultural and phylogenetic analysis of mixed microbial populations found in natural and commercial bioleaching environments
TLDR
Sequence analysis of the 16S rRNA genes of 33 representative strains revealed that all of the strains were closely related to strains which have been sequenced previously and confirmed the phylogenetic diversity of bacteria present in bioleaching environments.
Continuous microbial leaching of a pyritic concentrate by Leptospirillum-like bacteria

  • 2004
TLDR
Continuous leaching of a pyritic flotation concentrate by mixed cultures of acidophilic bacteria was studied in a laboratory scale airlift reactor and the iron leaching rate achieved by Leptospirillum-rich cultures was found to be up to 3.9 times higher than that by Lepsis-free cultures.
