"Thiobacillus caldus " was reclassified into " Acidithiobacillus ", one of three new genera ( also including " Halothiobacillus " and " Thermithiobacillus " ) created to further classify members of the genus which fall into the alpha-, beta-, and gamma-classes of the Proteobacteria . " Thiobacillus " species exhibit a tremendous amount of diversity in physiology and DNA composition, which was one reason for reclassification of this species into a new genus containing four species of acidophiles ( microorganisms which function best in an acidic environment ), some of which are also capable of oxidizing iron [ II ] and sulfide minerals.

This family of proteins also includes amicyanin from bacteria such as " Methylobacterium extorquens " or " Paracoccus versutus " ( Thiobacillus versutus ) that can grow on methylamine; auracyanins A and B from " Chloroflexus aurantiacus "; blue copper protein from " Alcaligenes faecalis "; cupredoxin ( CPC ) from " Cucumis sativus " ( Cucumber ) peelings; cusacyanin ( basic blue protein; plantacyanin, CBP ) from cucumber; halocyanin from " Natronomonas pharaonis " ( Natronobacterium pharaonis ), a membrane-associated copper-binding protein; pseudoazurin from Pseudomonas; rusticyanin from " Thiobacillus ferrooxidans "; stellacyanin from " Rhus vernicifera " ( Japanese lacquer tree ); umecyanin from the roots of " Armoracia rusticana " ( Horseradish ); and allergen Ra3 from ragweed.
