Van Dyke, W. Parker, H. Lee, J. Trevors] Summary: The influence of pH, temperature and catechol concentration on germanium (Ge) accumulation byPseudomonas stutzeri AG259 was investigated. Increasing the incubation temperature or pH of the culture medium markedly enhanced Ge accumulation. High amounts of Ge were accumulated at pH 11 and at 50°C, conditions under whichP. stutzeri cells were non-viable. Ge accumulation was unaffected by treatment with toluene or 2,4-dinitrophenol. These results indicate that Ge was accumulated by an energy-independent process. Ge accumulation increased as the catechol concentration increased. The use of autoclaved catechol solutions consistently increased the amount of Ge accumulated at all concentrations of catechol tested. It is possible that Ge enters the bacterial cells as a Ge-catechol complex and this uptake is enhanced by autoclaved catechol. Springer-Verlag, 1990 Van Dyke M.
