To identify the actual substrate of the glutathione-dependent sulfur dioxygenase (EC 1.13.11.18) elemental sulfur oxidation of the meso-acidophilic Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans strains DSM 504 and K6, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans strain R1 and Acidiphilium acidophilum DSM 700 was analysed. Extraordinarily high specific sulfur dioxygenase activities up to 460 nmol x min(-1) (mg protein)(-1) w...

Chlorella pyrenoidosa Chick (Emerson strain 3) utilizes thiosulfate for growth as effectively as sulfate, and more effectively than a variety of organic sulfur compounds containing sulfur in various oxidation states. Thiosulfates, differentially labeled with (35)S in either the SH- or SO(3) - sulfur moieties, were used to follow the incorporation of thiosulfate-sulfur into constituents of the i...

complex heat transfer phenomena (including unsteady state conduction, convection and solidification processes) occur in steel belt conveyer sulfur granulating method. numerical simulation of this technique is performed via a comprehensive and multifaceted one dimensional model. since the air situated between the adjacent sulfur pastilles is essentially stagnant, therefore, the surface temperatu...
