Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans can efficiently catalyze the oxidation of metal sulfide minerals, which is one of the main reasons for the production of acid mine drainage (AMD) in most metal mines and high sulfur coal mines. AMD can pollute the surrounding environment to a great extent. The study of the whole genome of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is helpful to explore the mechanism of its catalytic oxidation of metal sulfide minerals. It can find a breakthrough for the research and development of source inhibition technology of AMD.
