Studies of the cloning and expression of Thiobacillus Ferrooxidans Plasmid and Nitrogenase genes

This dissertation forms part of a fundamental investigation into the molecular biology of the industrially important bacterium, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans. The expression of T. ferrooxidans plasmid encoded functions, as well as the identification, cloning, sequencing and expression in a variety of heterotrophic bacteria and in vitro systems of the T. ferrooxidans nitrogenase structural genes were studied.
