Distribution of thiobacillus ferrooxidans and leptospirillum ferrooxidans: implications for generation of acid mine drainage
Although Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans are widely considered to be the microorganisms that control the rate of generation of acid mine drainage, little is known about their natural distribution and abundance. Fluorescence in situ hybridization studies showed that at Iron Mountain, California, T. ferrooxidans occurs in peripheral slime-based communities (at pH over 1....
متن کاملSensitivity of Iron-Oxidizing Bacteria, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, to Bisulfite Ion.
When grown on iron-salt medium supplemented with the bisulfite ion, Leptospirillum ferrooxidans was much more sensitive to the ion than was Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The causes of the sensitivity of L. ferrooxidans to the bisulfite ion were studied. The bisulfite ion completely inhibited the iron-oxidizing activities of L. ferrooxidans and T. ferrooxidans at 0.02 and 0.2 mM, respectively. A tr...
متن کاملChemotaxis of Leptospirillum ferrooxidans and other acidophilic chemolithotrophs: comparison with the Escherichia coli chemosensory system.
Ni2+, Fe2+ and Cu2+ were attractants and aspartate was an apparent repellent for Leptospirillum ferrooxidans, a behaviour opposite to that for Escherichia coli. Membranes from L. ferrooxidans contained proteins with a molecular mass in the range of 80 kDa which were methylated in vitro. Methylation was stimulated in the presence of a membrane-free extract from E. coli, showing the response patt...
متن کاملGrowth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans: a Novel Experimental Design for Batch Growth and Bacterial Leaching Studies.
The concentrations of ferrous and ferric ions change dramatically during the course of the batch experiments usually performed to study the kinetics of the bacterial oxidation of ferrous ions and sulfide minerals. This change in concentration of the iron species during the course of the experiment often makes it difficult to interpret the results of these experiments, as is evidenced by the lac...
متن کاملGene function analysis in environmental isolates: the nif regulon of the strict iron oxidizing bacterium Leptospirillum ferrooxidans.
A random genomic library from an environmental isolate of the Gram-negative bacterium Leptospirillum ferrooxidans has been printed on a microarray. Gene expression analysis was carried out with total RNA extracted from L. ferrooxidans cultures in the presence or absence of ammonium as nitrogen source under aerobic conditions. Although practically nothing is known about the genome sequence of th...
