Sulfo-oxidizing bacteria of soda-saline soils and their bio-oxidation activity

Abstract

Isolated and examined enrichment cultures of bacteria from soil sulfur-oxidation target area. Elective terms of sulfur-oxidation microorganisms created by the inclusion of the nutrient source of reduced sulfur (model substrate - thiosulfate), and the establishment of pH in the range of neutral and slightly alkaline values. A qualitative assessment of the activity of the studied bio- oxidation associations and analysis of pH changes in the development of medium sulfur-oxidation microorganisms.
