Oxidation of Ferrous Iron and Elemental Sulfur by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The oxidation of ferrous iron and elemental sulfur by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans that was absorbed and unabsorbed onto the surface of sulfur prills was studied. Unadsorbed sulfur-grown cells oxidized ferrous iron at a rate that was 3 to 7 times slower than that of ferrous iron-grown cells, but sulfur-grown cells were able to reach the oxidation rate of the ferrous iron-adapted cells after only 1...
متن کاملOxidation of elemental sulfur to thiosulfate by Streptomyces.
Streptomyces sioyaensis, which produces the antibiotic siomycin, oxidizes elemental sulfur when added to the culture medium and accumulates thiosulfate in the fermented broth. The accumulated thiosulfate was isolated as the ammonium salt and was identified by melting point, IR spectrum, and paper chromatography. A variety of other streptomycetes also oxidized elemental sulfur and accumulated th...
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.
متن کاملEffect of various ions, pH, and osmotic pressure on oxidation of elemental sulfur by Thiobacillus thiooxidans.
The oxidation of elemental sulfur by Thiobacillus thiooxidans was studied at pH 2.3, 4.5, and 7.0 in the presence of different concentrations of various anions (sulfate, phosphate, chloride, nitrate, and fluoride) and cations (potassium, sodium, lithium, rubidium, and cesium). The results agree with the expected response of this acidophilic bacterium to charge neutralization of colloids by ions...
متن کاملMechanism of oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds by thiosulfate-grown Thiobacillus thiooxidans.
Thiobacillus thiooxidans was grown at pH 5 on thiosulfate as an energy source, and the mechanism of oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds was studied by the effect of inhibitors, stoichiometries of oxygen consumption and sulfur, sulfite, or tetrathionate accumulation, and cytochrome reduction by substrates. Both intact cells and cell-free extracts were used in the study. The results are consi...
