Disguised as a Sulfate Reducer: Growth of the Deltaproteobacterium <italic toggle="yes">Desulfurivibrio alkaliphilus</italic> by Sulfide Oxidation with Nitrate
ABSTRACT This study demonstrates that the deltaproteobacterium Desulfurivibrio alkaliphilus can grow chemolithotrophically by coupling sulfide oxidation to the dissimilatory reduction of nitrate and nitrite to ammonium. Key genes of known sulfide oxidation pathways are absent from the genome of D. a...
