Ferrobacillus 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...
متن کاملSulfur oxidation by the iron bacterium Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans.
Margalith, P. (Syracuse University, Syracuse, N.Y.), Marvin Silver, and D. G. Lundgren. Sulfur oxidation by the iron bacterium Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans. J. Bacteriol. 92:1706-1709. 1966.-Sulfur and iron oxidation has been studied manometrically by use of Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans grown on either elemental sulfur or ferrous iron as the primary energy source. The iron-oxidizing enzyme was show...
متن کاملStudies on the chemoautotrophic iron bacterium Ferrobacillus ferrooxidans. II. Manometric studies.
Studies of the obligate chemoautotrophic iron bacteria have been largely descriptive in character. This situation is not due to any lack of interest in the physiology and biochemistry of these bacteria, but rather to the inability to grow them in large numbers, and the attendant problem of harvesting cells free from the voluminous precipitate of iron that accompanies growth. Silverman and Lundg...
