Electron Transport Systems of the Chemoautotroph Ferrobacillus Ferrooxidans. I. Cytochrome C-containing Iron Oxidase.
Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans was isolated and named by Leathen and Braley (1) in 1954 and reported to be an obligate chemoautotroph which utilizes the oxidation of inorganic ferrous iron as a primary energy source. A somewhat similar bacterium, called Thiobaeillus ferrooxiduns, had previously been isolated by Cohner, Temple, and Hinkle (2) and characterized as an obligate chemoautotroph which wou...
متن کاملFerrobacillus ferrooxidans: a chemosynthetic autotrophic Bacterium.
Investigations into the cause and control of the production of sulfuric acid in effluents of coal mines, and the effects of such effluents upon streams were begun in 1946.1 Working and abandoned mines of Western Pennsylvania alone contribute an estimated million tons of sulfuric acid per year to the drainage area of the Ohio River. A field survey of mine drainage and receiving streams was inaug...
متن کاملGrowth of Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans on organic matter.
Following a brief adaptation period to glucose, Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on glucose, mannitol, several other sugars, and a few amino acids in the absence of an oxidizable iron source. Prolonged growth on an organic substrate free from iron rendered the organism obligately organotrophic. The growth rate of the bacterium was greater in heterotrophic culture; the doubling time was appr...
متن کاملPoly-beta-hydroxybutyrate in the chemolithotrophic bacterium Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans.
Poly-f-hydroxybutyric acid (PHB) has been demonstrated in a wide range of bacteria, including both chemolithotrophic and photolithotrophic organisms. In the chemolithotrophic group, Schlegel, Gottschalk, and von Bartha (8) reported the formation and utilization of PHB in Hydrogenomonas, Lundgren et al. (4) extracted PHB from Ferrobacillusferrooxidans, and Tobback and Laudelout (10) chemically i...
