Thiobacillus denitrificans is a Gram-negative, obligate chemolithoautotroph.[1] It was originally discovered by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904.[1]
Metabolism
T. denitrificans is particularly notable for its ability to oxidize sulfur and uranium compounds in a nitrate-dependent manner.[2]
Genetics
The genome of T. denitrificans has been sequenced.[1] The genome is a single circular chromosome consisting of 2.9 Mbps and with a GC-content of 66.1%.[1]
