  1. Number of species-specific genes for At. ferrooxidans and At. thiooxidans regarding COG terms coupling on an ortholog level with the COG term energy production and conversion, and number of such genes reported in scientific literature in the context of cooperation (synergism, consortium, community, cooperation) or specific utilization (leaching, bioleaching, chalcopyrite)
