Kinetics of Iron Oxidation by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
A statistical relationship between the rate of ferric ion production by a strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and various levels of cell concentration, Fe concentration, Na concentration, and temperature was studied by a direct colorimetric method at 304 nm. The relationship was linear (90 to 93%), cross-product (3 to 4%), and quadratic (1 to 2%). The levels of cell concentration and Fe concent...
متن کاملGrowth Kinetics of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans Isolated from Arsenic Mine Drainage.
Thiobacillus ferrooxidans is found in many Alaskan and Canadian drainages contaminated by metals dissolved from placer and lode gold mines. We have examined the iron-limited growth and iron oxidation kinetics of a T. ferrooxidans isolate, AK1, by using batch and continuous cultures. Strain AK1 is an arsenic-tolerant isolate obtained from placer gold mine drainage containing large amounts of dis...

Colmer, Arthur R. (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge). Relation of the iron oxidizer, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, to thiosulfate. J. Bacteriol. 83:761-765. 1962.-A restudy has been made of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans secured from the acid drainage of some northern West Virginia coal mines. Cultures isolated from ferrous iron agar and then subcultured for 85 consecutive transfers in thiosulfa...
متن کاملGrowth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans on Formic Acid.
A variety of acidophilic microorganisms were shown to be capable of oxidizing formate. These included Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 21834, which, however, could not grow on formate in normal batch cultures. However, the organism could be grown on formate when the substrate supply was growth limiting, e.g., in formate-limited chemostat cultures. The cell densities achieved by the use of the lat...
متن کاملAnaerobic Growth of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The obligately autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was grown on elemental sulfur in anaerobic batch cultures, using ferric iron as an electron acceptor. During anaerobic growth, ferric iron present in the growth media was quantitatively reduced to ferrous iron. The doubling time in anaerobic cultures was approximately 24 h. Anaerobic growth did not occur in the absence of elemental...
