Isolation and characterization of Desulfovibrio growing on hydrogen plus sulfate as the sole energy source

摘要: Two sulfate reducing bacteria (Madison and Marburg strains) that grew on H2 plus in a mineral salts medium contained acetate CO2 as sole carbon source were isolated from diverse environments. During growth this 4.2 mol of consumed per reduced to sulfide. Acetate was required for biosynthetic purposes only. Approximately 70% the cell synthesized derived 30% CO2. not involved dissimilatory reduction.
