Abstract

Numerous microbial species are reported to utilize oxidation and/or reduction of sulfur containing compounds in the energy producing portions of their metabolism Halothiobacillus neapolitanus cultures obtained from different commercial sources appear to display considerable variability in terms of growth rate, carbonate consumption and activity of individual enzymes.

Keywords: Freeze-drying; Halothiobacillus neapolitanus; Sulfur oxidation; Viability.
