Description We investigated a correlation among growth conditions, physiological factors and selected kinetic constants of elemental sulfur oxidation by Acidithiobacillus ferrooxidans. The values of maximum sulfur oxidation rate (v) and growth yield on sulfur (Y) were determined from data obtained in 73 batch cultures under different culture systems. The changes of the apparent Michaelis constant for sulfur (Km) were investigated in resting cells.
