Sulfur respiration in a marine chemolithoautotrophic Beggiatoa strain

The chemolithoautotrophic strain Beggiatoa sp. 35Flor shows an unusual migration behavior when cultivated in a gradient medium under high sulfide fluxes. As common for Beggiatoa spp., the filaments form a mat at the oxygen-sulfide interface. However, upon prolonged incubation, a subpopulation migrat...
