Sensitivity 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 کاملFacultative Iron-Oxidizing Bacterium, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans
Properties ofa heat-labile glucose transport system in Thiobacillusferrooxidans strain AP-44 were investigated with iron-grown cells. [14C]glucose was incorporated into ceil fractions, and the cells metabolized [14C]glucose to 14CO2. Amytal, rotenone, cyanide, azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide strongly inhibited [14C]glucose uptake activity, suggesting the presence of an en...
متن کاملDistribution 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 کاملKinetics 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...
