TL;DR: The role and application of bacteria in anaerobic and aerobic sulfur transformations are described and exemplified for the treatment of a paper mill wastewater and the sludge was successfully used in investigation on sulfate reduction with carbon monoxide as the electron donor and the conversion of methanethiol.
Journal ArticleDOI
Isolation and characterization of an obligately chemolithoautotrophic Halothiobacillus strain capable of growth on thiocyanate as an energy source
TL;DR: Molecular and microbiological analysis of a laboratory bioreactor biomass oxidizing thiocyanate at autotrophic conditions and at 1 M NaCl showed a domination of a single chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium (SOB) capable of using thiOCyanate as an energy source.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The microbial community was investigated by using high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene amplicons which showed that methanethiol gave a competitive advantage to bacteria belonging to the genera Thioalkalibacter and Alkalilimnicola, and a conventionally applied method for controlling the oxygen supply to the bioreactor appeared to be ineffective in the presence of thiols.
