Title: Enzymes of respiratory iron oxidation. Progress report, March 1990--November 1991

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/10122599· OSTI ID:10122599

This report focuses on the progress made in three areas of research concerned with enzymes involved in respiratory iron oxidation. The three areas are as follows: development of an improved procedure for the routine large scale culture of iron oxidizing chemolithotrophs based on the in-situ electrolysis of the soluble iron in the growth medium; to perform iron oxidation kinetic studies on whole cells using the oxygen electrode; and to identify, separate, purify, and characterize the individual cellular components.
