ISOLATION AND CHARACTERIZATION OF SULPHUR OXIDIZING BACTERIA
Vidyalakshmi, Rajagopal & Sridar, R.
Abstract
Sulphur oxidizing bacteria were isolated from different samples viz., paddy rhizosphere, pulse rhizosphere, sewage, biogas slurry, tannery effluent and mine soil. Out of the 28 isolates obtained, 14 were screened based on their efficacy to reduce the pH of the growth medium from 8.0 to ≤ 5.0. The selected isolates were characterized and related to the genus Thiobacillus.
Keywords
sulphur oxidizing bacteria, Thiobacillus, sulphate.
