Microbial catalysis of the oxygen reduction reaction for microbial fuel cells: a review. [PDF]
, 2012 The slow kinetics of the electrochemical oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) is a crucial bottleneck in the development of microbial fuel cells (MFCs). This article firstly gives an overview of the particular constraints imposed on ORR by MFC operating ...

Glucose transport system in a facultative iron-oxidizing bacterium, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1982 Properties of a heat-labile glucose transport system in Thiobacillus ferrooxidans strain AP-44 were investigated with iron-grown cells. [14C]glucose was incorporated into cell fractions, and the cells metabolized [14C]glucose to 14CO2. Amytal, rotenone, cyanide, azide, 2,4-dinitrophenol, and dicyclohexylcarbodiimide strongly inhibited [14C]glucose ...

Expression of a Thiobacillus ferrooxidans origin of replication in Escherichia coli [PDF]
Journal of Bacteriology, 1984 A cryptic plasmid from an autotrophically grown arsenic-resistant strain of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans was isolated and cloned into pBR325. The origin of replication of pBR325 was deleted, and the recombinant plasmid was shown to replicate in Escherichia coli, using an origin of replication located on the Thiobacillus plasmid.

Biological ferrous sulfate oxidation by A. ferrooxidans immobilized on chitosan beads [PDF]
Journal of Microbiological Methods, 2008 The immobilization of Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans cells on chitosan and cross-linked chitosan beads and the biooxidation of ferrous iron to ferric iron in a packed-bed bioreactor were studied. The biofilm formation was carried out by using a glass column reactor loaded with chitosan or cross-linked chitosan beads and 9 K medium previously inoculated

Advanced Sustainable Systems, Volume 10, Issue 3, March 2026.ABSTRACT Hydrogels are 3D polymeric networks that can absorb and retain significant amounts of water and exhibit physical properties such as swelling and contraction in response to changes in the external environment. Owing to these unique physicochemical properties, hydrogels have attracted interest as effective solutions to key challenges in modern ...

A new solid medium for isolating and enumerating Thiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The Journal of General and Applied Microbiology, 1989 The growth of seven Thiobacillus ferrooxidans strains was trested on various solid media prepared according to previously published procedures in comparison with a series of new formulations (TSMs, Thiobacillus solid media) set up in our laboratory. These media differed in the type of gelling agent and in the concentration of phosphate and ferrous ions.
