Cytochromes c of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The chemolithoautotrophic Gram-negative bacterium Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is versatile and can grow on a number of electron donors and acceptors. In the A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 genome, computer analysis identified 11 genes encoding putative cytochromes c. At least eight putative cytochromes c were differentiated on gels in ATCC 33020 cells grown on ferrous iron or sulfur. All these cy...
متن کاملStudy of Membrane Fluidity of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans on Different Ores (Pyrite and Hematite)
Cell membranes are key structures existing in all living organisms in the world. Their importance in biology and medicine has been clear for many decades, and an extensive body of research for all aspects of their structure and function. They are ubiquitous in biology and are central to understanding key problems in biology and medicine (Lodish et al., 2000). All biological membranes are fluid ...
متن کاملPeriplasmic Proteins of the Extremophile Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans is a chemolithoautotrophic acidophile capable of obtaining energy by oxidizing ferrous iron or sulfur compounds such as metal sulfides. Some of the proteins involved in these oxidations have been described as forming part of the periplasm of this extremophile. The detailed study of the periplasmic components constitutes an important area to understand the physiolo...
متن کاملReduction of arsenic content in a complex galena concentrate by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans
BACKGROUND Bioleaching is a process that has been used in the past in mineral pretreatment of refractory sulfides, mainly in the gold, copper and uranium benefit. This technology has been proved to be cheaper, more efficient and environmentally friendly than roasting and high pressure moisture heating processes. So far the most studied microorganism in bioleaching is Acidithiobacillus ferrooxid...
متن کاملBacterial oxidation of ferrous iron by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the pH range 2.5–7.0
The oxidation of ferrous iron by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans in the pH range 2.5–7.0 was characterized. In order to measure the rate of bacterial oxidation of ferrous iron with A. ferrooxidans in this high pH range, a novel experimental methodology was developed. The results showed that the inhibition of ferrous iron oxidation activity by A. ferrooxidans observed at pH values above 3.0 is pa...
