Sulfite oxidase activity in Thiobacillus novellus.
Thiobacillus novellus shows a maximum induction of sulfite oxidase activity and a maximum growth rate as a result of supplementing the autotrophic growth medium with 4.0 microM ammonium molybdate. Cells grown in the presence of molybdate showed approximately 10-fold increases in the amount of enzyme-associated molybdenum and in the sulfite-to-cytochrome c and sulfite-to-ferricyanide reductase a...
متن کاملSulfite:Cytochrome c oxidoreductase from Thiobacillus novellus. Purification, characterization, and molecular biology of a heterodimeric member of the sulfite oxidase family.
Direct oxidation of sulfite to sulfate occurs in various photo- and chemotrophic sulfur oxidizing microorganisms as the final step in the oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds and is catalyzed by sulfite:cytochrome c oxidoreductase (EC ). Here we show that the enzyme from Thiobacillus novellus is a periplasmically located alphabeta heterodimer, consisting of a 40.6-kDa subunit containing a moly...
متن کاملOxalate, formate, formamide, and methanol metabolism in Thiobacillus novellus.
Thiobacillus novellus was able to grow with oxalate, formate, formamide, and methanol as sole sources of carbon and energy. Extensive growth on methanol required yeast extract or vitamins. Glyoxylate carboligase was detected in extracts of oxalate-grown cells. Ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase was found in extracts of cells grown on formate, formamide, and thiosulfate. These data indicate that ...
متن کاملThiosulfate Oxidation and Electron Transport in Thiobacillus novellus.
Aleem, M. I. H. (Research Institute for Advanced Studies, Baltimore, Md.). Thiosulfate oxidation and electron transport in Thiobacillus novellus. J. Bacteriol. 90:95-101. 1965.-A cell-free soluble enzyme system capable of oxidizing thiosulfate was obtained from Thiobacillus novellus adapted to grow autotrophically. The enzyme systems of autotrophically grown cells brought about the transfer of ...
متن کاملCatabolite repression in the facultative chemoautotroph Thiobacillus novellus.
Several fermentable carbon sources were found to give rise to catabolite repression of all enzymes implicated in thiosulfate oxidation in the facultative chemoautotroph, Thiobacillus novellus. Glucose was found to elicit a strong repression. Glycerol, lactate, lactose, ribose, and pyruvate caused marked repression. In all cases, the repression could be relieved only by returning the cells to a ...
