The vanadate-induced increase in passive uptake of calcium and cobalt and their interference were studied in human red cells using (45)Ca and (57)Co as tracers. Vanadate is a potent inhibitor of the Ca-pump in red cells, although in fed cells

A new pathway of dimethylsulfide (DMS) metabolism was identified in a novel species of Gammaproteobacteria, Methylophaga thiooxidans sp. nov., in which tetrathionate (S(4)O(6)(2-)) was the end-product of DMS oxidation. Inhibitor evidence indicated that DMS degradation was initiated by demethylation, catalysed

Conventional wisdom holds that microbes support their growth in vertebrate hosts by exploiting a large variety of nutrients. We show here that use of a specific nutrient (ethanolamine) confers a marked growth advantage on Salmonella enterica serovar Typhimurium (S. Typhimurium)

Chemolithotrophic oxidation of reduced sulfur compounds was studied in the betaproteobacterium Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis in correlation with its transposon (Tn5-mob)-inserted mutants impaired in sulfur oxidation (Sox(-)) and found to be carried out via the tetrathionate intermediate (S(4)I) pathway. The group of

Thiosulfate dehydrogenase is known to play a significant role in thiosulfate oxidation in the acidophilic, obligately chemolithoautotroph, Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. Enzyme activity measured using ferricyanide as the electron acceptor was detected in cell extracts of A. ferrooxidans ATCC 23270 grown on
