[Relationship of hydrogen bacteria to carbon monoxide]. 1979

N D Savel'eva

The purpose of this work was to study the ability of various cultures of hydrogen bacteria to grow in a gaseous mixture containing, apart from H2, O2 and CO2, carbon monoxide at a concentration of 10% (v/v) and higher. In contrast to CO-oxidizing bacteria, these organisms could not use CO as a sole source of energy. Among 17 studied strains of hydrogen bacteria, only those belonging to the group Alcaligenes eutrophus could withstand 10% of CO (v/v) in a gaseous mixture.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D010230	Paracoccus	Gram-negative non-motile bacteria found in soil or brines.
D011549	Pseudomonas	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped bacteria widely distributed in nature. Some species are pathogenic for humans, animals, and plants.	Chryseomonas,Pseudomona,Flavimonas
D002248	Carbon Monoxide	Carbon monoxide (CO). A poisonous colorless, odorless, tasteless gas. It combines with hemoglobin to form carboxyhemoglobin, which has no oxygen carrying capacity. The resultant oxygen deprivation causes headache, dizziness, decreased pulse and respiratory rates, unconsciousness, and death. (From Merck Index, 11th ed)	Monoxide, Carbon
D003470	Culture Media	Any liquid or solid preparation made specifically for the growth, storage, or transport of microorganisms or other types of cells. The variety of media that exist allow for the culturing of specific microorganisms and cell types, such as differential media, selective media, test media, and defined media. Solid media consist of liquid media that have been solidified with an agent such as AGAR or GELATIN.	Media, Culture

D000421	Alcaligenes	A genus of gram-negative, aerobic, motile bacteria that occur in water and soil. Some are common inhabitants of the intestinal tract of vertebrates. These bacteria occasionally cause opportunistic infections in humans.
