1.1. An early intermediate of sulphide oxidation in cell-free extracts ofThiobacillus concretivorusis bound to a membrane fraction.2.2. The compound is probably at the oxidation level of elemental sulphur, and its properties suggest that it is in a linear polymeric form rather than the more stable S8ring structure.3.3. Dialysed extracts oxidize sulphide as well as the bound sulphur intermediate completely to sulphate, without forming thiosulphate or polythionates. In undialysed preparations however inorganic sulphur compounds accumulate, and sulphate formation from sulphide is considerably less.4.4. A mechanism is proposed for the enzymic oxidation of sulphide to sulphateviaa bound sulphur polymer and sulphite.
