Although the facultatively autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus acidophilus is unable to grow on formate and formaldehyde in batch cultures, cells from glucose-limited chemostat cultures exhibited substrate-dependent oxygen uptake with these C1-compounds. Oxidation of formate and ...
Mixotrophic growth of the facultatively autotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus acidophilus on mixtures of glucose and thiosulfate or tetrathionate was studied in substrate-limited chemostat cultures. Growth yields in mixotrophic cultures were higher than the sum of the heterotrophic ...
Heterotrophic growth of the facultatively chemolithoautotrophic acidophile Thiobacillus acidophilus was studied in batch cultures and in carbon-limited chemostat cultures. The spectrum of carbon sources supporting heterotrophic growth in batch cultures was limited to a number of ...
