Sulfur metabolism pathways in Sulfobacillus acidophilus TPY, a Gram-positive moderate thermoacidophile from a hydrothermal vent

Sulfobacillus acidophilus TPY, isolated from a hydrothermal vent in the Pacific Ocean, is a moderately thermoacidophilic Gram-positive bacterium that can oxidize ferrous iron or sulfur compounds to obtain energy. In this study, the sulfur metabolism pathways of S. acidophilus TPY with redox cycles w...
