Two members of the genus Thermus were examined for their resistance to toxic inorganic compounds. They both proved to be fairly resistant to tellurite and selenite and to many other heavy metal salts. Cell extracts of Thermus thermophilus HB8 and of T. flavus AT-62 catalyze the reduction of K(2)TeO(3) in a reaction which is dependent on NADH oxidation.
研究了两种属的嗜热菌对有毒无机化合物的抗性。它们都对亚碲酸盐和硒酸盐以及许多其他重金属盐具有相当的抗性。嗜热栖热菌 HB8 和 T. flavus AT-62 的细胞提取物可催化 K(2)TeO(3)的还原,该反应依赖于 NADH 氧化。
