[The dependence of intracellular ATP level on the nutrition mode of the acidophilic bacteria Sulfobacillus thermotolerans and Alicyclobacillus tolerans].

The dynamics of the ATP pool in the aerobic spore-forming acidothermophilic mixotrophic bacteria Sulfobacillus thermotolerans Kr1T and Alicyclobacillus tolerans K1T were studied in the course of their chemolithoheterotrophic, chemoorganoheterotrophic, and chemolithoautotrophic growth. It was established that, during mixotrophic growth, the maximum ATP concentrations in the cells of S. thermotolerans Kr1 and A.
