Tetrathionate has also been found to serve as a terminal electron acceptor for " Salmonella typhimurium ", whereas existing thiosulfate in the lumen of mammals is oxidized by reactive oxygen species released by the immune system ( mainly NADPH oxidase produced superoxide ) to form tetrathionate.

""'Advenella kashmirensis " "'is a chemolithotrophic, mesophilic, neutrophilic, tetrathionate-oxidizing bacterium of the genus " Advenella ", isolated from the soil of a temperate orchard in Jammu and Kashmir in India . " Tetrathiobacter kashmirensis " has been reclassified to " Advenella kashmirensis ".

It displays chemolithotrophic growth when exposed to substrates containing sulfur, tetrathionate, or thiosulfate, with sulfate being produced as the end product . ), casamino acids ( an amino acid / peptide mixture common to microbial growth media formed from the acid hydrolysis of casein ), nor a 2.5 mM concentration of glucose as the sole substrate have been shown to induce heterotrophic growth of " A . caldus ".

In addition to sulfur, " A . thiooxidans " can use thiosulfate or tetrathionate as sources of energy, but growth in a liquid medium on thiosulfate is slow, generally taking about 10 to 12 days under favorable conditions as opposed to only 4 to 5 days for growth on elemental sulfur, as demonstrated by the change in pH and turbidity . " A . thiooxidans " is incapable of oxidizing iron or pyrite, but it has been shown to grow on sulfur from pyrite when cocultured with the bacterium " Leptospirillum ferrooxidans ", a species that can oxidize iron but not sulfur.
