Mycobacteria isolated from Angkor monument sandstone grow chemolithoautotrophically by oxidizing elemental sulfur
To characterize sulfate-producing microorganisms from the deteriorated sandstones of Angkor monuments in Cambodia, strains of Mycobacterium spp. were isolated from most-probable-number-positive cultures. All five strains isolated were able to use both elemental sulfur (S0) for chemolithoautotrophic...
