Many industrial activities produce H<sub>2</sub>S, which is toxic at high levels and odorous at even very low levels. Chemolithotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are often used in its remediation. Recently, we have reported that many heterotrophic bacteria can use sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase and persulfide dioxygenase to oxidize H<sub>2</sub>S to thiosulfate and sulfite. These bacteria may also potentially be used in H<sub>2</sub>S biotreatment. Here we report how various heterotrophic bacter ...[more]
