The mixotrophic growth with methanol plus thiosulfate was examined in nutrient-limited mixotrophic condition for Methylobacterium goesingense CBMB5 and Methylobacterium fujisawaense CBMB37. Thiosulfate oxidation increased the growth and protein yield in mixotrophic medium that contained 150mM methanol and 20mM sodium thiosulfate, at 144 h. Respirometric study revealed that thiosulfate was the most preferable reduced inorganic sulfur source, followed by sulfite and sulfur. M. goesingense CBMB5 and M. fujisawaense CBMB37 oxidized thiosulfate directly to sulfate, and intermediate products of thiosulfate oxidation such as polythionates, sulfite, and sulfur were not detected in spent medium and they did not yield positive amplification for tested soxB primers. Enzymes of thiosulfate oxidation such as rhodanese and sulfite oxidase activities were detected in cell-free extracts of M. goesingense CBMB5, and M. fujisawaense CBMB37, and thiosulfate oxidase (tetrathionate synthase) activity was not observed. It indicated that both the organisms use the "non-S4 intermediate" sulfur oxidation pathway for thiosulfate oxidation. It is concluded from this study that M. goesingense CBMB5, and M. fujisawaense CBMB37 exhibited mixotrophic metabolism in medium containing methanol plus thiosulfate and that thiosulfate oxidation and the presence of a "Paracoccus sulfur oxidation" (PSO) pathway in methylotrophic bacteria are species dependant.

Cyanide poisoning is expected to be antagonized by the administration of oxygen, when it is administered in combination with the conventional cyanide antidote, sodium thiosulfate. However, the antidotal efficacy and its exact mechanism of oxygen in cyanide poisoning is still a controversial one. To test the effect of oxygen on the antidotal action of thiosulfate in cyanide poisoning, author designed this study on the dose-mortality patterns for potassium cyanide in mice. Potency ratios derived from $LD_{50}$ values were compared in groups of mice treated with sodium thiosulfate alone and sodium thiosulfate with oxygen. These results indicated that oxygen enhances the antidotal effect of sodium thiosulfate, effectively. This fact demonstrates that oxygen is of importance in the treatment of cyanide poisoning.

담수(湛水)된 고유기물(高有機物) 논토양에서의 ammonium thiosulfate(ATS)의 urease 활성(活性) 억제(抑制) 효과(效果)와 토양의 생물학적 활성 및 화학적 성질에 미치는 영향을 조사하고, ATS의 효과를 sodium thiosulfate(STS)와 비교하고 유기물 처리의 영향을 검토한 결과를 요약하면 다음과 같다. 1. Thiosulfate의 urease 활성 저해 효과는 3~5일후부터 나타났다. glucose 첨가구에서는 STS 처리가 ATS보다 효과가 다소 컸고, glucose를 첨가하지 않았을 때에는 처리 효과가 비슷하였다. 2. Thiosulfate 처리구의 pH는 초기에 높아지다가 glucose 무첨가시에는 10일 이후 낮아졌고, glucose 첨가시에는 15일 이후 낮아졌다. Eh는 thiosulfate 처리에 의하여 대체로 낮아졌다. 3. Thiosulfate 처리구에서 acet 산(酸)과 butyr 산(酸)은 소량($10{\mu}g/g$ 이하) 검출되었으므로, thiosulfate 처리에 의해 수도(水稻)의 생육이 저해되지는 않을 것이라 추정된다. 4. Glucose를 첨가하지 않았을 때에는 thiosulfate 처리에 의해 $CO_2$ 발생량이 증가하여 토양 생물의 활성을 높였다고 해석된다.

식물에 필수영양소인 황은 대부분 sulfate의 형태로 식물이 흡수하며, thiosulfate 형태로는 영양소로서 흡수하지 못한다. 황산화세균은 이러한 thiosulfate를 산화시켜 sulfate로 만들어 준다. 국내 토양에서 황산화세균의 분포를 조사하기 위하여 경제적으로 중요성을 갖는 19가지 작물의 근권에서 토양을 채취하였다. 항산화세균은 조사한 모든 작물의 근권에서 존재하였으며, 황산화능이 우수한 32가지의 황산화세균을 분리하였다. 또한 분리 균주의 생화학적 특징을 검토한 결과 32종 중 56%가 필수 화학합성자가영양생물이었으며, 44%가 기생 종속영양생물이었다. 분리 균주 ATSR15P는 배양과정에서 19.2 mM의 thiosulfate를 사용하였고, 11.7 mM의 sulfate를 축적하였다. 또한 ATSR15P 배양 과정 중 배지의 pH가 6.5에서 3.1로 감소하였다. 본 연구에서는 황산화세균에 의 한 황의 산화가 국내 작물의 근권에서 포괄적으로 나타나는 현상이라는 것을 증명하고 있다.

황화수소 산화세균인 Thiobacillus sp.를 전남 화순의 폐탄광수에서 분리하였다. 분리된 균주는 그람음성의 운동성이 있고, 포자를 형성하는 간균이었으며, 환원된 무기 황화합물을 산화하여 에너지원으로 사용하는 호기성 통성 화학합성 영양균이었다. 분리균주는 thiosulfate를 첨가한 기본배지에서 유기물을 동화하며 성장하였고, 에너지원으로 사용된 thiosulfate는 32mM 이상의 농도에서는 오히려 기질억제 인자로 작용하여 균의 성장을 억제하였다. 최적 thiosulfate 농도는 32mM이었다. DNA의 G+C 함량은 65.0mol%이고, 세포내 주요 지방산중 비순산화 지방산은 16:1+7$_{cyc}$, 16:0과 수산화 지방산은 3-OH 12:0을 가지며, $C_{18}$의 미동정 가지형의 지방산도 포함하고 있었다. Ubiquinone system은 Q-9을 가지고 있었다. 위와 같은 생리생화학적 특성 결과로부터, 본 분리균주는 Thiobacillus sp. iw.의 새로운 종으로 판단하였다.

Effects of 13 organic compounds including glucose, fructose, xylose, glutamate, succinate, malate, glycine, lactate, acetate, pyruvate, citrate, formate and cis-aconitate on the oxidation of thiosulfate and the availability of these compounds as the substrate for the respiration by Thiobacillus ocncretivorus, which is known to be an obligated autotroph, were studied. Malate nad glycine at 0.5 per cent concentration nearly doubled the thiosulfate oxidation compared to the control. No other organic substances enhanced the thiosulfate oxidation compared to the control. No other organic substances enhanced the thiosulfate oxidation. Moreover, some 30 to 40 per cent decrease was recorded by fructose, sulfate-salts medium, some 30 to 40 per cent decrease was recorded by fructose, citrate, xylose, malate, flucose, glutamate and succinate. No respiration could occur when formate and pyruvate were supplied as the substrate for respiration. But it was obvious that flucose, fructose, xylose, glutamate, malate, citrate and succinate could be used as the substrate for respiration to some extent, regarding the fact that some increase in respiration rates could be recorded compared to the result from the salts medium, where neither thiosulfate nor orgnic compounds were added. Thus, it was postulated that this organism could possibly be converted into mixotroph or hetrotroph if appropriate conditions could be prepared.

In this study, the combined effect of chloride and thiosulfate ions and the effect of the ratio of the two ions on passivation in 304L, 316L, and the duplex stainless steels 2101 and 2205 are investigated using potentiostatic scratch tests. Cyclic polarization and the scratch tests were used to understand the role of anions on localized corrosion in these systems. It was found that the thiosulfate pitting began at a lower potential for 2101 than 304L in 0.6 M NaCl + 0.03 M $Na_2S_2O_3$ solution. The pit morphologies for 304L, 316L, and 2101 in an 0.6 M NaCl + 0.03 M $Na_2S_2O_3$ solution were very different from each other. The results indicate that the pitting switches from predominately thiosulfate pitting to chloride pitting at approximately 0.1 V.

To test the efficacies of thiosulfate in cyanide poisoning with or without oxygen, after the administration of sublethal dose of potassium cyanide, serial arterial blood samples were collected during 60 minutes in 15 rabbits. Cyanide ion concentrations were measured by Conway cell microdiffusion method, and arterial oxygen tensions were also observed. Comparison of elimination constants showed that arterial blood cyanide ion concentration decreased most rapidly in the thiosulfate with oxygen-administered group. The elimination of cyanide ion by the action of thiosulfate in acutely poisoned rabbit accelerated probably due to oxygen and elimination pattern seems to occur by first-order elimination kinetics.

A sequencing batch reactor (SBR) was operated to obtain thiosulfate-utilizing denitrifier cultivated with two types of electron accepter (nitrate and nitrite). Using the microbial biomass obtained from the SBR, batch tests were conducted with different nitrite concentrations (50 and 100 mg-N/L) at pH 7.0, 7.5 and 7.9 to see how free nitrous acid (FNA) negatively works on the thiosulfate-utilizing denitrification of nitrate. The specific denitrification rate (SDR) of nitrate was significantly influenced by pH and FNA. The presence of nitrite caused a remarked decrease of the SDR under low pH conditions, because of the microbiological inhibitory effect of FNA. The minimum SDR was observed when initial nitrite concentration was 100 mg-N/L at pH 7.0. Moreover. the SDR was influenced by the type of electron acceptor used during the SBR operation. Thiosulfate-utilizing denitrifier cultivated with nitrite showed smaller SDR on the thiosulfate-utilizing denitrification of nitrate than those cultivated with nitrate.
