Abstract excerpt
Thermophilic, faculatatively mixotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria were isolated from a sulfide-rich, neutral hot spring in Iceland. The strain, IT-7254, used thiosulfate and elemental sulfur as electron donors, oxygen and nitrate as electron acceptors, and acetate and other organic compounds as carbon sources. After a few days of growth in the presence of thiosulfate, this strain formed sulfur globules....
