The application provides an extreme acidophilic
sulfur-oxidizing bacterium and application thereof. The extreme acidophilic bacterium has strong oxidation on elemental
sulfur and tetrathionate ions, is a chemolithoautotrophic
acidithiobacillus, and can be used for removing elemental
sulfur and tetrathionate ions in the environment, and has wide application prospects. The acidophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium has a preservation number of CGMCC No. 14839. The
optimal growth temperature of the biological leaching and desulfurization provided by the application is normal temperature, and the
optimal growth pH range is wide, so that the strain of the application has practical application significance. In addition, due to the characteristics of chemolithoautotrophy, the strain can improve the climate environment while recovering the environment.
