ABSTRACT

The maximum temperature for growth (T_max) was determined for pure and mixed cultures of acidophilic thiobacilli. The experimental system was based on incubating the cultures in liquid media exposed to a linear temperature gradient. The T_max values varied within the range of 36.1 to 43.6°C.
