The function of the surface membrane structures was studied with cytochemical techniques on ultrathin sections of Thiobacillus thiooxidans. The transport of elementary sulphur inside the cell involves the surface membrane structures, while oxidation of the sulphur to sulphuric acid takes place on the outer surface of the cytoplasmic membrane. The surface membrane structures are supposed also to participate in the primary dissolution of elementary sulphur at the site of contact of the cells with the mineral.
利用细胞化学技术对氧化硫硫杆菌超薄切片的表面膜结构功能进行了研究。单质硫在细胞内的运输涉及表面膜结构,而硫氧化成硫酸则发生在细胞质膜的外表面。表面膜结构也被认为参与了细胞与矿物接触部位单质硫的初步溶解。
