Abstract This study comprises the first report of ferrous iron oxidation by psychrotolerant, acidophilic iron‐oxidizing bacteria capable of growing at 5°C. Samples of mine drainage‐impacted surface soils and sediments from the Norilsk mining region (Taimyr, Siberia) and Kristineberg (Skellefte distr...
