Sensitivity of Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, to Bisulfite Ion.
When grown on iron-salt medium supplemented with the bisulfite ion, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans was much more sensitive to the ion than was Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The causes of the sensitivity of L. ferrooxidans to the bisulfite ion were studied. The bisulfite ion completely inhibited the iron-oxidizing activities of L. ferrooxidans and T. ferrooxidans at 0.02 and 0.2 mM, respectively. A tr...
متن کاملCytochromes c of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The chemolithoautotrophic Gram-negative bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is versatile and can grow on a number of electron donors and acceptors. In the A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 genome, computer analysis identified 11 genes encoding putative cytochromes c. At least eight putative cytochromes c were differentiated on gels in ATCC 33020 cells grown on ferrous iron or sulfur. All these cy...
متن کاملFerrous Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans: Inhibition with Benzoic Acid, Sorbic Acid, and Sodium Lauryl Sulfate.
Benzoic acid, sorbic acid, and sodium lauryl sulfate at low concentrations (5 to 10 mg/liter) each effectively inhibited bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron in batch cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The rate of chemical oxidation of ferrous iron in low-pH, sterile batch reactors was not substantially affected at the tested concentrations (5 to 50 mg/liter) of any of the compounds.
متن کاملDISSOLUTION KINETICS OF MANGANESE DIOXIDE ORE IN SULFURIC ACID IN THE PRESENCE OF FERROUS ION
Abstract: In this paper, kinetics of reductive leaching of manganese dioxide ore by ferrous ion in sulfuric acid media has been examined. Experimental results show that increasing temperature from 20 to 60 °C and decreasing ore particle size from −16+20 to −60+100 mesh considerably enhance both the dissolution rate and efficiency. Molar ratios of Fe2+/MnO2 and H2SO4/MnO2 in excess to the st...
متن کاملFacultative Iron-Oxidizing Bacterium, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans
Properties ofa heat-labile glucose transport system in Thiobacillusferrooxidans strain AP-44 were investigated with iron-grown cells. [14C]glucose was incorporated into ceil fractions, and the cells metabolized [14C]glucose to 14CO2. Amytal, rotenone, cyanide, azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide strongly inhibited [14C]glucose uptake activity, suggesting the presence of an en...
