Abstract excerpt

Twelve chemolithotrophic strains were isolated from temperate orchard soil on reduced sulfur compounds as energy and electron sources and characterized on the basis of their physiological properties and ability to oxidize various reduced sulfur compounds. The new isolates could oxidize tetrathionate as well as thiosulfate, and oxidation of the latter involved conversion of thiosulfate to tetrathionate followed by...
