Quantitative and physiological analyses of chloride dependence of growth of Halobacillus halophilus
Article Abstract:
A study was conducted to analyze the Cl- dependence of growth of Halobacillus halophilus. The optimal growth rates were determined at Cl- concentrations between 0.5 and 2.0 M. The final yield was then obtained strictly dependent on the concentration. Experimental results indicated a couple of membrane proteins supporting molecular masses of 31 and 16 kDa as possible candidates for a chloride uptake system.

Energy conservation in acetogenic bacteria
Article Abstract:
The energetics of CO2 reduction and reduction of other electron acceptors in acetogens are highlighted. Although the elucidation of the mechanisms of energy conservation in acetogens is still n its infancy, it turned out that Acetobacterium woodii is one of the rare cases in which the entire energetics is based on an Na(super +) current across the cytoplasmic membrane.

Energy generation from the CO oxidation-hydrogen production pathway in Rubrivivax gelatinosus
Article Abstract:
A report was created on energy generation from the CO oxidation-hydrogen production pathway in Rubrivivax gelatinosus. The purpose of this report is to demonstrate that the CO oxidation pathway in Rubrivivax gelatinosus CBS could indeed generate energy by using CO as the sole carbon substrate.
