Effect of Thiol-binding Reagents on the Metabolism of Thiosulfate and Tetrathionate by Thiobacillus Neapolitanus.
Trudinger, P. A. (Division of Plant Industry, Canberra, Australia). Effect of thiol-binding reagents on the metabolism of thiosulfate and tetrathionate by Thiobacillus neapolitanus. J. Bacteriol. 89:617-625. 1965.-Iodoacetamide, N-ethyl maleimide (NEM), p-chloromercuribenzoate (CMB), Mercurochrome, and HgCl(2) inhibited the oxidation of thiosulfate to sulfate by Thiobacillus neapolitanus; tetra...
متن کاملCytoplasmic pH homeostasis in an acidophilic bacterium, Thiobacillus acidophilus.
The cytoplasmic buffering capacity of Thiobacillus acidophilus (along with membrane properties) is responsible for the cytoplasmic pH homeostasis in metabolically compromised cells. When a large influx of H+ occurs, the cytoplasmic buffering capacity prevents drastic changes in pH; in addition, this influx, by increasing the positive membrane potential, eventually leads to a cessation of furthe...
متن کاملThe effects of thiosulphate and oxygen concentration on tetrathionate oxidation by Thiobacillus X and T. thioparus.
in the 2-week-old rats, ascorbic acid either performs additional functions or performs the same functions as in the other two groups but at accelerated rates. Since the bone marrow is predominantly engaged in the production of blood cells, it is possible that some relationship may exist between the rate of production of blood cells and the quantity of ascorbic acid available to the bone marrow....
متن کاملAutotrophic Growth of Thiobacillus acidophilus in the Presence of a Surface-Active Agent, Tween 80.
Cellular protein, pH, dissolved oxygen concentration, and static surface tension were measured during growth of Thiobacillus acidophilus on elemental sulfur in the absence and presence of up to 5,000 mg of Tween 80 per liter. The decrease in pH and the increase in sulfate production were observed to be less accurate measurements of growth when compared with the increase in cellular protein. The...
متن کاملProton motive force and the physiological basis of delta pH maintenance in thiobacillus acidophilus.
At optimal growth pH (3.0) Thiobacillus acidophilus maintained an internal pH of 5.6 (delta pH of 2.6 units) and a membrane potential (delta psi) of some +73 mV, corresponding to a proton motive force (delta p) of -83 mV. The internal pH remained poised at this value through external pH values of 1 to 5, so that the delta pH increased with decreasing external pH. The positive delta psi increase...
