Biochemistry of the chemolithotrophic oxidation of inorganic sulphur
Abstract
A historical review is presented of the elucidation of the mechanisms of oxidation of inorganic sulphur compounds and of electron transport in the thiobacilli. A unitary mechanism, consistent with current knowledge, is proposed. The significance of polythionates is discussed. The relations between oxidation mechanisms, substrate-level and electron transport-dependent phosphorylation, energy-dependent NAD + reduction and efficiency of growth arc assessed in order to evaluate the efficiency of energy conservation in different species. The unresolved problems are identified for the benefit of those planning further assaults on the last redoubts of the thiobacilli

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
