- Abstract
Sulfur oxygenase, sulfite oxidase, adenylyl sulfate reductase, rhodanase, sulfur : Fe(III) oxidoreductase, and sulfite : Fe(III) oxidoreductase were found in cells of aerobic thermoacidophilic bacteria Sulfobacillus sibiricus, strains N1 and SSO. Enzyme activity was revealed in the cells grown on medium with elemental sulfur or in the presence of various sulfide minerals and concentrates of sulfide ores. The activity of enzymes of sulfur metabolism depended little on the degree of aeration during bacterial growth.
