Description 107-109
The number of thiobacilli obtained as colony forming units on thiosulphate agar was the highest ever reported from marine sources. Seven isolates, out of 15 from enrichment cultures, were Thiobacillus spp., T. thiooxidans and T. ferroxidans produced the most acidic conditions in liquid cultures. Laboratory experiments with decaying alga Ulva lactuca in seawater showed that thiobacilli were involved in the oxidation of protein sulphur. The study not only indicates the status of pollution in harbour waters but also shows that thiobacilli may have wide distribution in coastal waters.
