Aluminum ions are highly soluble in acidic environments. Toxicity of aluminum ions for heterotrophic, facultatively and obligately chemolithoautotrophic acidophilic bacteria was examined.Acidiphilium cryptumgrew in glucose-mineral medium, pH 3, containing 300 mM aluminum sulfate [Al2(SO4)3] after a lag phase of about 120 h with a doubling time of 7.6 h, as compared to 5.2 h of growth without aluminum. Precultivation with 1 mM Al2(SO4)3and transfer to a medium with 300 mM Al2(SO4)3reduced the lag phase from 120 to 60 h, and immediate growth was observed whenA. cryptumwas precultivated with 50 mM Al2(SO4)3, suggesting an aluminum-induced resistance. Aluminum resistance was not induced by Fe3+ions and divalent cations. Upon exposure ofA. cryptumto 300 mM Al2(SO4)3, the protein profile changed significantly as determined by SDS-PAGE. When other acidophiles were cultivated with 50–200 mM aluminum sulfate, no lag phase was observed while the growth rates and the cellular yields were significantly reduced. This growth response was observed withAcidobacterium capsulatum,Acidiphilium acidophilum,Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans, andAcidithiobacillus thiooxidans. Precultivation of these strains with aluminum ions did not alter the growth response caused by aluminum. The content ofA. cryptumcultivated with 300 mM Al2(SO4)3was 0.44 µg Al/mg cell dry weight, while that of the other strains cultivated with 50 mM Al2(SO4)3ranged from 0.30 to 3.47 µg Al/mg cell dry weight.
