Transmembrane electrical potential and transmembrane pH gradient in the acidophile Thiobacillus ferro-oxidans.

Thiobacillus ferro-oxidans is capable of using the oxidation of Fe2+ by O2 at pH 2.0 as the sole source of energy for growth and CO2 fixation. The bacterium maintains an intracellular pH of 6.5 over a range of external pH from 1.0 to 8.0, as measured by [14C]acetate and [3H]methylamine distribution....
