The bacterium, Thiobacillus thiooxidans, is one of the culprits behind corrosion in concrete buildings and bridges.
2.
"Thiobacillus " spp . can be used in pest control, such as potato scabs.
3.
Sometimes oxidation is speeded by the bacteria " Thiobacillus ferrooxidans ", which feeds on sulfide compounds.
4.
The members of this genus used to belong to " Thiobacillus ", before they were reclassified in 2000.
5.
Some members of this genus were classified as " Thiobacillus " spp ., before they were reclassified in 2000.
6.
Other potential difficulties include the jagged terrain at Metates and the area's torrential rainy seasons, which might harm the thiobacillus ferrooxidans bacteria, Luna said.
7.
In addition to aerobic sulfur oxidation, some organisms ( e . g . " Thiobacillus denitrificans " ) use nitrate ( ) as a terminal electron acceptor and therefore grow anaerobically.
8.
The process is performed primarily by heterotrophic bacteria ( such as " Paracoccus denitrificans " and various pseudomonads ), although autotrophic denitrifiers have also been identified ( e . g ., " Thiobacillus denitrificans " ).
9.
Most species are obligate autotrophs ( using the transaldolase form of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle ) using elementary sulfur, thiosulfate or polythionates as energy sources but " Thiobacillus aquaesulis " can grow weakly on complex media as a heterotroph.
10.
Some strains ( E6 and Tk-m ) of the type species " Thiobacillus thioparus " can use the sulfur from dimethylsulfide, dimethyldisulfide or carbon disulfide to support autotrophic growth-they oxidise the carbon from these species into carbon dioxide and assimilate it.
