Thiosulfate disproportionation by Desulfotomaculum thermobenzoicum.
Desulfotomaculum thermobenzoicum, but not Desulfotomaculum nigrificans, Desulfotomaculum ruminis, or Desulfosporosinus orientis, grew by disproportionation of thiosulfate, forming stoichiometric amounts of sulfate and sulfide; sulfite was not disproportionated. The addition of acetate enhanced growth and thiosulfate disproportionation by D. thermobenzoicum compared to those observed with thiosulfate alone.
