Orellana, Luis H.; Jerez, Carlos A. (2011)There is great interest in understanding how extremophilic biomining bacteria adapt to exceptionally high copper concentrations in their environment. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 53993 genome possesses the same ...
-
Navarro, Claudio A.; von Bernath, Diego; Jerez, Carlos A. (2013)Microbial solubilizing of metals in acid environments is successfully used in industrial bioleaching of ores or biomining to extract metals such as copper, gold, uranium and others. This is done mainly by acidophilic and ...
-
Varela, Patricia; Jerez, Carlos A. (1992)The major heat shock proteins from Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were identified as DnaK and GroEL equivalents by Western blotting and analysis of the N-terminal amino acid sequence of spots isolated from dried 2-D polyacrylamide ...

Orell, Alvaro; Navarro, Claudio A.; Rivero, Matías; Aguilar, Juan S.; Jerez, Carlos A. (2012)Many extremophilic microorganisms are polyextremophiles, being confronted with more than one stress condition. For instance, some thermoacidophilic microorganisms are in addition capable to resist very high metal concentrations. ...

Delgado, Mónica; Toledo, Héctor; Jerez, Carlos A. (1998)We have cloned and sequenced a 2,262-bp chromosomal DNA fragment from the chemolithoautotrophic acidophilic bacterium Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. This DNA contained an open reading frame for a 577oaminoacid protein showing ...

Seeger, Michael; Jerez, Carlos A. (1992)During some biogeochemical processes mediated by bacteria, essential nutrients such as phosphate can become limiting for the microorganisms, affecting their biological activity. We have analyzed changes in total protein ...
-
Seeger, Michael; Jerez, Carlos A. (1993)We have analysed the response of the acidophilic chemolithotroph Thiobacillus ferrooxidans to phosphate starvation. Cultivation of the bacteria in the absence of added phosphate induced a remarkable filamentation of the ...

Oetiker, Nia; Norambuena, Rodrigo; Martínez-Bussenius, Cristóbal; Navarro, Claudio A.; Amaya, Fernando; Álvarez, Sergio A.; Paradela, Alberto; Jerez, Carlos A. (MDPI AG, 2018)© 2018 by the authors. Licensee MDPI, Basel, Switzerland. Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans resists extremely high concentrations of copper. Strain ATCC 53993 is much more resistant to the metal compared with strain ATCC ...

Almárcegui, Rodrigo J.; Navarro, Claudio A.; Paradela, Alberto; Albar, Juan Pablo; von Bernath, Diego; Jerez, Carlos A. (Elsevier Masson SAS, 2014)© 2014 Institut Pasteur.The response of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 to copper was analyzed in sulfur-grown cells by using quantitative proteomics. Fortyseven proteins showed altered levels in cells grown in ...

Cardona, Silvia; Remonsellez, Francisco; Guiliani Guerin, Nicolás; Jerez, Carlos A. (2001)Inorganic polyphosphate (polyP) is obtained by the polymerization of the terminal phosphate of ATP through the action of the enzyme polyphosphate kinase (PPK). Despite the presence of polyP in every living cell, a gene ...

Jerez, Carlos A. (1988)The heat shock response was studied in a chemolithotrophic thermoacidophilic archaebacterium Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (shifted from 70° to 85°C) and a mesoacidop0ilic microorganism Thiobacillus ferrooxidans (from 30° to ...
