Abstract
We investigated a correlation among growth conditions,
physiological factors and selected kinetic constants of
elemental sulfur oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans.
The values of maximum sulfur oxidation rate (v) and growth
yield on sulfur (Y) were determined from data obtained in 73
batch cultures under different culture systems. The changes of
the apparent Michaelis constant for sulfur (Km) were
investigated in resting cells.
