Among seventy five strains of iron-oxidizing bacteria obtained from natural environments, only one strain, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans Funis 2-1, grew on Fe2+-medium with 1.25 mm of sodium molybdate (Mo6+). In contrast, T. ferrooxidans AP19-3, the representative of Mo sensitive strains, could not grow on Fe2+-medium with 1.0mm of sodium molybdate. By comparing the levels of inhibition of iron oxidase and cytochrome c oxidase by Mo6+ or Mo5+, it was found that Mo5+ but not Mo6+ is an actual inhibitor for the iron oxidation enzyme system, especially for cytochrome c oxidase. Cytochrome c oxidase of Funis 2-1 was more resistant to Mo5+ than AP19-3. Mo5+, compared to Mo6+, strongly binds to both cells and the plasma membrane of T. ferrooxidans. Funis 2-1 cells showed a lower binding activity to Mo6+ or Mo5 + compared to AP19-3. Cytochrome c oxidase of T. ferrooxidans has been known to catalyze the oxidation of not only reduced mammalian cytochrome c but also Mo5+ . Mo5+-oxidizing activities measured with intact...
