Abstract
Tucker, Fayne L. (University of Southern California, Los Angeles), John F. Walper, Milo Don Appleman, and Jerry Donohue. Complete reduction of tellurite to pure tellurium metal by microorganisms. J. Bacteriol. 83:1313–1314. 1962—The black precipitate produced in the presence of potassium tellurite by growing cells of Streptococcus faecalis N83 and Corynebacterium diphtheriae was shown, by X-ray diffraction analysis, to consist of metallic tellurium. The metal was not complexed, to any significant degree, with any organic material.
