Thiosphaera pantotropha gen. nov. sp. nov., a Facultatively Anaerobic, Facultatively Autotrophic Sulphur Bacterium
Abstract
During studies on a desulphurizing, denitrifying effluent-treatment system, an organism which is able to grow aerobically and anaerobically on reduced sulphur compounds and hydrogen, while fixing carbon dioxide, was isolated. The new isolate is also capable of mixotrophic and heterotrophic growth on a wide range of substrates, and is therefore a facultatively aerobic, facultative autotroph. Comparisons with two similar species, Thiobacillus A2 and Paracoccus denitrificans, showed that the new isolate is significantly different from the other two, and merits separate classification. In view of its ability to oxidize reduced sulphur compounds, and because it is a chain-forming coccus rather than a rod, the new isolate has been given the generic name of Thiosphaera, and the species name pantotropha in recognition of its wide range of possible substrates.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
