[Oxidation of sulfur-containing substrates by aboriginal and experimentally designed microbial communities].

Prikl. Biokhim. Mikrobiol. 48(6) , 640-5, (2012)

Aboriginal and experimental (constructed of pure microbial cultures) communities of acidophilic chemolithotrophs have been studied. The oxidation of elemental sulfur, sodium thiosulfate, and potassium tetrathionate as sole sources of energy has been monitored...

Construction of arsB and tetH mutants of the sulfur-oxidizing bacterium Acidithiobacillus caldus by marker exchange.

Appl. Environ. Microbiol. 74 , 5686, (2008)

Acidithiobacillus caldus is a moderately thermophilic, acidophilic bacterium that has been reported to be the dominant sulfur oxidizer in stirred-tank processes used to treat gold-bearing arsenopyrite ores. It is also widely distributed in heap reactors used ...

Effect of sodium tetrathionate on amyloid fibril: Insight into the role of disulfide bond in amyloid progression.

Biochimie 93(5) , 962-8, (2011)

Tissue deposition of fibrillar protein aggregates called amyloid is the root cause of several degenerative diseases. Thus identification of compounds which can prevent or reduce protein aggregation can serve as a potential therapeutic target. In the present s...

Vanadate-induced Ca(2+) and Co(2+) uptake in human red blood cells.

Blood Cells Mol. Dis. 48(2) , 102-9, (2012)

The vanadate-induced increase in passive uptake of calcium and cobalt and their interference were studied in human red cells using (45)Ca and (57)Co as tracers. Vanadate is a potent inhibitor of the Ca-pump in red cells, although in fed cells a residual pump ...

Thiol-dependent membrane transport of selenium through an integral protein of the red blood cell membrane.

Inorg. Chem. 48(16) , 7805-11, (2009)

The molecular details of the selenium metabolism and transport in living systems are still not completely understood, despite their physiological importance. Specifically, little is known about the membrane transport of selenium from most of the selenium cont...

The S4-intermediate pathway for the oxidation of thiosulfate by the chemolithoautotroph Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis and inhibition of tetrathionate oxidation by sulfite.

Res. Microbiol. 158(4) , 330-8, (2007)

Chemolithotrophic oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds was studied in the betaproteobacterium Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis in correlation with its transposon (Tn5-mob)-inserted mutants impaired in sulfur oxidation (Sox(-)) and found to be carried out via the...

Ferrous iron production mediated by tetrathionate hydrolase in tetrathionate-, sulfur-, and iron-grown Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 cells.

Biosci. Biotechnol. Biochem. 73(6) , 1381-6, (2009)

When tetrathionate-grown Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 cells were incubated with ferric ions and tetrathionate at pH 3.0, ferrous ions were produced enzymatically. Fe(3+)-reductase, which catalyzes Fe(3+) reduction with tetrathionate, was purified...

Chemolithoautotrophic oxidation of thiosulfate, tetrathionate and thiocyanate by a novel rhizobacterium belonging to the genus Paracoccus.

FEMS Microbiol. Lett. 270(1) , 124-31, (2007)

Two tropical leguminous-rhizospheric strains, SST and JT 001, phylogenetically closest to Paracoccus thiocyanatus and Paracoccus pantotrophus, respectively, were isolated on reduced sulfur compounds as sole energy and electron sources. While SST had versatile...

A spectroscopic investigation into the reaction of sodium tetrathionate with cysteine.

Spectrochim. Acta. A. Mol. Biomol. Spectrosc. 69(1) , 256-62, (2008)

A spectroscopic investigation into the reaction of sodium tetrathionate with cysteine at pH 5 both at the boil and at room temperature has been carried out. The Raman and infrared spectra of the model compounds cysteine, cysteine-S-sulfonate, cysteine-S-thios...

Sodium tetrathionate effect on papain purification from different Carica papaya latex crude extracts.

Prep Biochem Biotechnol. 41(2) , 107-21, (2011)

Papain from latex of Carica papaya was purified up to matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI) time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometry homogeneity by salt precipitation from two different crude extract sources: a refined preparation obtained in our ...
