Abstract excerpt
Five facultative sulfur chemolithotrophs were isolated from soils to study the diversity of sulfur lithotrophy. Phenotypic characteristics, including sulfur lithotrophic properties and chemotaxonomic features of the isolates, were similar to those of the members of the colorless sulfur bacteria. 16S rDNA sequence analyses rendered placing the isolates to three distinct phylogenetic clusters of...
