Sulfate and sulfur reduction

Question 1

what are the sources of carbon,energy and electrons ?

Answer 1

Organic compounds

Question 2

Who is te electron

acceptor?

Answer 2

SO42-
or sulfite(SO32-)

Question 3

Who is te electron donor?

Answer 3

organic(lactate) or inorganic

compound(H2)

Question 4

when lactate is used?

Answer 4

additional ATP is produced

Question 5

How is the ATP being made?

Answer 5

lectron transport reactions generate a proton motive force and this drives ATP synthesis by ATPase

Question 6

also ATP is also made with?

Answer 6

Substrate-level phosphorylation

Question 7

Desulfuromonas uses what as a terminal electron acceptor ?

Answer 7

sulfur (S)

Question 8

and uses what as an electron donors?

Answer 8

acetate,ethanol and other organic compounds

Question 9

why does it do ATP from substrate-level phosphorylation

Answer 9

sufficient free energy to make ATP is available from sulfate reduction when an electron donor is oxidized that gives NADH or FADH

Question 10

desulfuromonas what does it liberates?

Answer 10

S + 2H+ +2é= H2S

Question 11

does it stink?

Answer 11

yes,rotten egg smell
