Oxidation of arsenite to arsenate by Alcaligenes faecalis.
Alcaligenes faecalis, resistant to the toxic effects of 0.01 M sodium arsenite, was isolated from raw sewage and shown to be capable of oxidizing arsenite to arsenate. When the organisms were grown in chemically defined medium, this conversion was due to the appearance at stationary phase of an intracellular, oxygen-sensitive, inducible enzyme and/or component of the electron transport system; ...
متن کاملArsenite oxidation and arsenate respiration by a new Thermus isolate.
A new microbial strain was isolated from an arsenic-rich terrestrial geothermal environment. The isolate, designated HR13, was identified as a Thermus species based on 16S rDNA phylogenetic relationships and close sequence similarity within the Thermus genus. Under aerobic conditions, Thermus HR13 was capable of rapidly oxidizing inorganic As(III) to As(V). As(III) was oxidized at a rate approx...
متن کاملNitrogen compounds utilized by Alcaligenes faecalis.
Conn (1942) observed that Alcaligenes faecalis required organic nitrogen, but as observed by Porter (1946) no report was found of a study of nitrogen compounds suitable for continued growth of A. faecalis. It was reported, however, that this organism grew in a medium containing NH4 lactate as a source of nitrogen and carbon (Braun and Cahn-Bronner, 1921), and used NH4NO3, asparagine, cysteine, ...
متن کاملOxidation of arsenite to arsenate on birnessite in the presence of light
The effect of simulated solar radiation on the oxidation of arsenite [As(III)] to arsenate [As(V)] on the layered manganese oxide, birnessite, was investigated. Experiments were conducted where birnessite suspensions, under both anoxic and oxic conditions, were irradiated with simulated solar radiation in the presence of As(III) at pH 5, 7, and 9. X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS) was used to...
متن کاملMicrobial Enhanced Oil Recovery Using Biosurfactant Produced by Alcaligenes faecalis
A bacterial strain (designated as Alcaligenes sp. MS-103) isolated from oil sample of the Aghajari oilfield in the south of Iran, was able to produce an effective extracellular lipopolysaccharide biosurfactant (1.2±0.05 g/l) on molasses as a sole carbon source. The highest surface tension reduction to level 20 mN/m was achieved by biosurfactant produced by cells grown on molasses under optimum ...
