Various species of thiobacilli have different oxidative capabilities, but most can oxidize sulfide, sulfur and thiosulfate. The mechanism of inorganic sulfur oxidation by thiobacilli has been studied for a number of years. It is becoming increasing clear that sulfur and sulfite oxidation are the key reactions in the oxidation of sulfide, elemental sulfur, thiosulfate and polythionates.Read More
