Influence of reactive media composition and chemical oxygen demand as methanol on autotrophic sulfur denitrification.
Sulfur-utilizing autotrophic denitrification relies on an inorganic carbon source to reduce the nitrate by producing sulfuric acid as an end product and can be used for the treatment of wastewaters containing high levels of nitrates. In this study, sulfur-denitrifying bacteria were used in anoxic batch tests with sulfur as the electron donor and nitrate as the electron acceptor. Various medium ...
متن کاملFormate-dependent autotrophic growth in Sinorhizobium meliloti.
It was found that S. meliloti strain SmA818, which is cured of pSymA, could not grow on defined medium containing only formate and bicarbonate as carbon sources. Growth experiments showed that Rm1021 was capable of formate/bicarbonate-dependent growth, suggesting that it was capable of autotrophic-type growth. The annotated genome of S. meliloti Rm1021 contains three formate dehydrogenase genes...
متن کاملAutotrophic Growth and Nitrogen Fixation in Derxia gummosa
Initial attempts to grow N2-fixing Derxia gummosa autotrophically on H2, C 0 2 , O2 and N2 in a closed system yielded variable results. Poor growth was found to be due to rapid O2 depletion and the requirement for an agar surface. In a closed system, C2H2 reduction assays could not be carried out due to complete consumption of H2. Hence a flow-through culturing technique was developed to supply...
متن کاملChloromethane stimulates growth of Methylomicrobium album BG8 on methanol.
Studies were performed to determine if the growth of Methylomicrobium album BG8 on methanol could be enhanced through the provision of chloromethane. M. album BG8 was found to be able to oxidize chloromethane via the particulate methane monooxygenase with an apparent K(s) of 11+/-3 microM and V(max) of 15+/-0.6 nmol (min mg protein)(-1). When up to 2.6 mM chloromethane was provided with 5 mM me...
متن کاملStudies on the Metabolism of Autotrophic Bacteria
In a study of chemosynthesis (the fixation of CO(2) by autotrophic bacteria in the dark) in Thiobacillus thiooxidans, the data obtained support the following conclusions: 1. CO(2) can be fixed by "resting cells" of Thiobacillus thiooxidans; the fixation is not "growth bound." 2. The physiological condition of the cell is of considerable importance in determining CO(2) fixation. 3. CO(2) fixatio...
