Description and Significance

S. Thermosulfidooxidans was first isolated by in 1978 by Golovacheva and Karavaiko from a copper-zinc-pyrite deposit in Kazakhstan.[3] It is a strictly aerobic, Gram-positive, non-motile, spore-forming, bacillus. S. Thermosulfidooxidans is thermophilic and acidophilic with a temperature range of 20-60°C and pH range of 1.5 – 5.5, however optimum growth occurs at approximately 50-55°C with a pH of 1.9 – 2.4.(4)
