Figure 3From: Extending the models for iron and sulfur oxidation in the extreme Acidophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidansComparison of the hdr cluster between A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 and other sulfur oxidizers. Heterodisulfide reductase complex (HdrC1B1AOrf2HdrC2B2), accessory proteins (Rhd, TusA, DsrE) and ATP sulfurylase (Sat) in AF: A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 (NC_011206), AA: Aquifex aeolicus (NC_000918) and known acidophilic sulfur oxidizing microorganisms HB: Hydrogenobaculum sp. Y04AAS1 (NC_011126), HV: Hydrogenivirga sp. 128-5-R1-1 (NZ_ABHJ00000000), MS: Metallosphaera sedula (NC_009440), SA: Sulfolobus acidocaldarius (NC_007181), ST: S. tokodaii (NC_003106) and SS: S. solfataricus (NC_002754). Percentage of amino-acid similarity is indicated. Blue triangles represent inversion in the gene order.Back to article page
