Acidimicrobium ferrooxidans (Clark and Norris 1996) is the sole and type species of the genus, which until recently was the only genus within the actinobacterial family Acidimicrobiaceae and in the order Acidomicrobiales. Rapid oxidation of iron pyrite during autotrophic growth in the absence of an enhanced CO(2) concentration is characteristic for A. ferrooxidans. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of the order Acidomicrobiales, and the 2,158,157 bp long single replicon genome with its 2038 protein coding and 54 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.
氧化亚铁嗜酸菌（Clark和Norris，1996年）是该属的唯一模式种，直到最近它还是嗜酸微菌科放线菌家族以及嗜酸微菌目中的唯一属。在没有提高二氧化碳浓度的情况下，自养生长过程中黄铁矿的快速氧化是氧化亚铁嗜酸菌的特征。在此，我们描述了该生物体的特征，以及完整的基因组序列和注释。这是嗜酸微菌目第一个完整的基因组序列，这个长度为2,158,157 bp的单复制子基因组及其2038个蛋白质编码基因和54个RNA基因是细菌和古菌基因组百科全书项目的一部分。
