Phosphorylation and carbon dioxide fixation in the autotrophic bacterium, Thiobacillus thiooxidans.
Over ten years ago we published a series of papers on the metabolism of Thiobacillsthiooxidakrs, an autotrophic bacterium discovered by Waksman and Joffe (1922), which oxidizes sulfur to sulfuric acid (LePage, 1942; LePage and Umbreit, 1943; O'Kane, 1942; Umbreit, 1947; Umbreit and Anderson, 1942; Umbreit et al., 1942; Vogler, 1942a, b; Vogler et al., 1942; Vogler and Umbreit, 1941, 1942). The ...
متن کاملAttachment of Thiobacillus thiooxidans to sulfur crystals.

Bacteriol. 85:137-140. 1963.-Electron micrographs of replicas of sulfur crystals before and after attack by Thiobacillus thiooxidans show that the microorganisms erode the crystal in the area immediately adjacent to the cell. When...
متن کاملGrowth inhibition by tungsten in the sulfur-oxidizing bacterium Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans.
Growth of five strains of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans, including strain NB1-3, was inhibited completely by 50 microM of sodium tungstate (Na(2)WO(4)). When the cells of NB1-3 were incubated in 0.1 M beta-alanine-SO(4)(2-) buffer (pH 3.0) with 100 microM Na(2)WO(4) for 1 h, the amount of tungsten bound to the cells was 33 microg/mg protein. Approximately 10 times more...
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...
متن کاملOxidation of Elemental Sulfur to Sulfite by Thiobacillus thiooxidans Cells.
Thiobacillus thiooxidans cells oxidized elemental sulfur to sulfite, with 1 mol of O(2) consumption per mol of sulfur oxidized to sulfite, when the oxidation of sulfite was inhibited with 2-n-heptyl-4-hydroxyquinoline N-oxide.
