  Student Research Project: pH Dependence of Sulfur Oxidation in a Mesophilic Sulfur Oxidizing Microbe\n\tAbstract: Certain species of microbes are capable of utilizing the complete oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds as their sole source of metabolic energy. Halothiobacillus neapolitanus is unique amongst these organisms such that its growth range spans a wide range of pH

  substrate specificity

  salinity and oxidation concentration.
