Abstract excerpt
Thermophilic bacteria were isolated from a sulfide-rich, neutral hot spring in Iceland on gelrite minimal medium with 16 mM thiosulfate. The isolates were aerobic, obligate chemolithoautotrophs and used thiosulfate and sulfur as electron donors, producing sulfate from both substrates. No growth was observed with hydrogen as the sole electron donor, and no hydrogenase activity was detected. The cells were...
