dc.description.abstractSeveral members of the order Thermotogales in the domain Bacteria, viz., Thermotoga neapolitana, Thermotoga maritima, Thermosipho africanus, Fervidobacterium islandicum, and Thermotoga strain SEBR 2665, an isolate from an oil well, reduced thiosulfate to sulfide. This reductive process enhanced cellular yields and growth rates of all the members but was more significant with the two hyperthermophiles T. neapolitana and T. maritima. This is the first report of such an occurrence in this group of thermophilic and hyperthermophilic anaerobic bacteria. The results suggest that thiosulfate reduction is important in the geochemical cycling of sulfur in anaerobic thermal environments such as the slightly acidic and neutral-pH volcanic hot springs and oil reservoirs.
