Title: Biochemistry of dissimilatory sulfur oxidation

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6599983· OSTI ID:6599983

Our goals of this research are to define the substrate oxidation pathways, the electron transport mechanisms, and the modes of energy conservation employed during the dissimilatory oxidation of sulfur by thiobacilli. We have purified APS reductase to electrophoratic homogeneity from cell-free extracts of Thiobacillus denitrificans. Sufficient protein is available to initiate the production of polyclonal antibodies and to perform the kinetic experiments.
