“…A mechanism of iron oxidation is proposed [24] in which the complexing of ferrous ion with molecular oxygen precedes the electron transport involving sulfate [100][101][102] and phosphatidylserine [73,103] in the oxidation. The isolation of cytochrome c and cytochrome a from T. ferrooxidans [ 104] allowed the postulation of iron oxidation through the cytochrome system with oxygen as the final electron acceptor [96,[104][105][106]:…”

“…coli strains [70][71][72]. Phospholipids and neutral lipids are also related to the cell envelope structure [73]. The cytoplasma of T. ferrooxidans contains ribosomes, nuclear materials and cell inclusions [52,68,69].…”

“…Free granule-like material, ranging in sizes from 50 to 100 m,u, is visible in the background. The amount of material removed is about 25% of the dry weight of the cell and has been studied separately (6). More surface alteration is noted after treatments involving urea, 2-mercaptoethanol, and iodoacetic acid extraction and pepsin digestion (Fig.…”

“…Much of the recent study with this organism has focused on the cell envelope layers of the organism (5,8,15,29,37,39,40). The objective in many of these studies has been to discover information about the structure or organization of the cell surface which would help explain the acidophilic nature of the cells or their ability to utilize such diverse energy sources.…”

“…Phosphatidyl serine has been found to bind iron efficiently (2) and may function to bind iron to the cell surface in nature. Unfortunately, reports have been contradictory as to the presence of this phospholipid in iron-grown cells (15,33). The peptidoglycan and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) layers of iron-grown cells have been partially characterized (40).…”
