The nickel transport system of Clostridium thermoaceticum was investigated with 63NiCl2 and an anaerobic microfiltration transport assay. Transport was optimal at pH 7 to pH 7.5 and 65 degrees C and decreased in the presence of metabolic uncouplers and inhibitors. Exogenous nickel was concentrated 3,000-fold over the apparent nickel concentration gradient during typical transport assays. Stored cellular energy appeared to provide a short-term energy source to power nickel transport, and starvation experiments demonstrated external energy source stimulation of nickel translocation. The apparent Km and Vmax for nickel transport by carbon monoxide-dependent chemolithotrophic cells approximated 3.2 microM Ni and 400 pmol of Ni transported per min per mg of cells (dry weight), respectively. Magnesium, calcium, cobalt, iron, manganese, and zinc did not inhibit the transport of nickel.
利用63NiCl2和厌氧微滤运输分析法对嗜热醋酸梭菌的镍转运系统进行了研究。转运在pH 7至pH 7.5以及65摄氏度时最为适宜,在存在代谢解偶联剂和抑制剂的情况下转运会减少。在典型的转运分析中,外源镍在表观镍浓度梯度上被浓缩了3000倍。储存的细胞能量似乎提供了一种短期能量来源来驱动镍的转运,饥饿实验表明外部能量源会刺激镍的转运。一氧化碳依赖的化能无机营养细胞转运镍的表观Km和Vmax分别约为3.2微摩尔镍和每分钟每毫克细胞(干重)转运400皮摩尔镍。镁、钙、钴、铁、锰和锌不会抑制镍的转运。
