Kinetics of Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

A statistical relationship between the rate of ferric ion production by a strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and various levels of cell concentration, Fe concentration, Na concentration, and temperature was studied by a direct colorimetric method at 304 nm. The relationship was linear (90 to 93%), cross-product (3 to 4%), and quadratic (1 to 2%). The levels of cell concentration and Fe concent...

Molecular genetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is a gram-negative, highly acidophilic (pH 1.5 to 2.0), autotrophic bacterium that obtains its energy through the oxidation of ferrous iron or reduced inorganic sulfur compounds. It is usually dominant in the mixed bacterial populations that are used industrially for the extraction of metals such as copper and uranium from their ores. More recently, these bacterial con...

Anaerobic Growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

The obligately autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on elemental sulfur in anaerobic batch cultures, using ferric iron as an electron acceptor. During anaerobic growth, ferric iron present in the growth media was quantitatively reduced to ferrous iron. The doubling time in anaerobic cultures was approximately 24 h. Anaerobic growth did not occur in the absence of elemental...

Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, a facultative hydrogen oxidizer.

The type strain (ATCC 23270) and two other strains of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were able to grow by hydrogen oxidation, a feature not recognized before. When cultivated on H2, a hydrogenase was induced and the strains were less extremely acidophilic than during growth on sulfidic ores. Cells of T. ferrooxidans grown on H2 and on ferrous iron showed 100% DNA homology. Hydrogen oxidation was not...

Microbiological oxidation of synthetic chalcocite and covellite by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.

The microbiological oxidation of synthetic chalcocite and covellite has been investigated using an adapted strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. Biodegradation of chalcocite was found to be 90 to 100% and that of covellite 45 to 60%. Optimum conditions for the oxidation of chalcocite were: pH, 1.7 to 2.3; temperature, 35 C; and ferric iron concentration in the range of 0.004 to 0.01 M. For covel...
