. Energetic aspects of the metabolism of reduced sulphur compounds in Thiobacillus denitrificans. Antonie van Leeuwenhoek 42: 483-492.

Yields of Thiobacillus denitrificans on different substrates were compared. The organism was grown in a chemostat at a dilution rate of 0.03 h-1. From the difference in the cell yields with (1) oxygen (6.40 g carbon per mole thiosulphate) and ( 2) nitrate (4.51 g carbon per mole thiosulphate) as an electron acceptor the experimental value for YATP was estimated to be 1.75. The efficiency of the biosynthetic system would be 42~ if 1 ATP should be needed in reversed electron transport, and 57~ if this was 2 ATP per electron pair.

It could be calculated that during anaerobic oxidation of thiosulphate with nitrate 1.41 or 1.16 ATP per 2 electrons are generated if 1 or 2 ATP respectively per thiosulphate is formed in substrate-level phosphorylation. For aerobic oxidation these figures are 2.40 and 2.16, respectively

## Abstract **BACKGROUND:** This study deals with the potential of biological processes combining biofiltration and a biotrickling filter to treat a mixture of sulphur reduced compounds (SRC) including dimethylsulfide (DMS), dimethyldisulfide (DMDS) and hydrogen sulphide (H~2~S). The first step in
