Growth of Thiobacillus thiooxidans on glucose

Archives of Biochemistry and Biophysics, 1966
Abstract It is possible to grow the strictly autotrophic bacterium Thiobacillus thiooxidans on glucose as the sole source of energy by means of a culture system in which the medium is continually renewed. It appears that the inability of this organism to grow on glucose under more conventional conditions is due to the accumulation of toxic ...

Acidostability of spheroplasts prepared from Thiobacillus thiooxidans

Archives of Microbiology, 1977
Thiobacillus thiooxidans was acidostable even in the absence of its respiratory substrate, elementary sulfur. This suggests that the acidostability of the bacterium was enery-independent. The organism was subjected to osmotic shock with 0.75 M sucrose at 0 degrees C and then treated with snail intestinal juice in the presence of 0.3 M sucrose.

Preservation of Thiobacillus ferroxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans with activity check

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 1986
Cultures of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans, used in biohydrometallurgical processes of economic importance, are very difficult to preserve by conventional methods. Hence, to preserve the cultures with their activity intact, various techniques were tried, after determining their respective activity in terms of Iron Oxidation Rate

Direct zinc sulphide bioleaching by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans and Thiobacillus thiooxidans

Biotechnology Letters, 1994
Direct bioleaching (no iron(II) present) by Thiobacillus ferrooxidans mainly occurs on the surface of the very insoluble sulphides but is more important in solution when the sulphides are more soluble. In this case, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, normally not able to leach directly insoluble sulphides, has an effective leaching action.

Cytochrome in Thiobacillus thiooxidans

Science, 1963
Cytochrome is present in the autotrophic sulfur bacterium, Thiobacillus thiooxidans . As mediator in the final electron transfer to oxygen, the cytochrome participates in the oxidation of sulfur compounds by extracts of the organism.

Combined degradation of covellite by Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus ferrooxidans

Biotechnology Letters, 1996
In the presence of iron, which is always associated with natural sulphide ores, the percentages of copper dissolution in the bioleaching of covellite were 34 and 45 % when Thiobacillus thiooxidans and Thiobacillus ferrooxidans were used together and when an indirect bioleaching with attached bacteria was performed respectively.
