Effect of culture medium iron content on the biochemical composition and metabolism of Trichomonas vaginalis.
Trichomonas vaginalis grown in iron-enriched medium contained increased concentrations of iron-sulfur proteins, including ferredoxin and pyruvate-ferredoxin oxidoreductase. The increases in hydrogenosomal constituents correlated with increased in vivo hydrogenosomal metabolism.
