RT Journal Article SR Electronic(1) A1 Kelly, D P A1 Wood, A PYR 2000 T1 Confirmation of Thiobacillus denitrificans as a species of the genus Thiobacillus, in the beta-subclass of the Proteobacteria, with strain NCIMB 9548 as the type strain. JF International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, VO 50 IS 2 SP 547 OP 550 DO https://doi.org/10.1099/00207713-50-2-547 PB Microbiology Society, SN 1466-5034, AB Thiobacillus denitrificans is physiologically similar to the type species of the genus Thiobacillus, Thiobacillus Thioparus, and both are located in the beta-subclass of the Proteobacteria. T. denitrificans is distinguished from all other Thiobacillus species by its ability to grow as a facultatively anaerobic chemolithotroph, coupling the oxidation of inorganic sulfur compounds to the reduction of nitrate, nitrite and other oxidized nitrogen compounds to dinitrogen. A definitive description of this species is provided and strain NCIMB 9548T is designated as the type strain of the species, thereby correcting an earlier error in the literature., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/ijsem/10.1099/00207713-50-2-547
