A total of 75 microorganisms were obtained from high-sulfur content environmental samples using different sulfur sources. Fifty-four of them had the ability to oxidize sulfur at 1% (w/v) in liquid culture, however only three of them AZCT-M125-5, AZCT-M125-6, and AZCT-M125-7 were able to grow autotrophycally using elemental sulfur at concentrations higher than 1 % and up to 9 % (w/v) as energy source. They produce more than 300 mg sulfate/L. Also, these microbial cultures were able to produce sulfate within pH 3 to 7. Analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that microbial cultures AZCT-M125-5 and AZCT-M125-6 were closely related to Acidithiobacillus thiooxidans while identification of AZCT-M125-7 was not possible. According to the results, these three microorganisms can be excellent candidates for the future development of alternative biotechnological processes for the treatment of hazardous wastes containing sulfur.

Sewage contains high concentration of sulfate and contaminates ground water supply. The production process in the factory produced sewage containing high amount of sulfur such as sulphide and sulphate. Sulfur bacteria, which are capable of oxidizing, reducing or partially oxidizing inorganic sulfur compounds such as Thiomicrospira, Thiothrix, Desulforomonas, Achromatium, and a group of Thiobacillus. Utilization of sulfur bacteria has done in attemp to find sewage bioremediation agents as well as to promote soil fertility. Isolation and characterization were carried out by growing the bacteria in the starkey selective medium, including pH reduction test, morphology, physiology and biochemical characterization. It has been observed that out of 2 isolates from different sources of samples (rubber and paper sewage), only one isolates related to sulfur-oxidizing bacterium (SOB) while the isolates AE01 related to true sulfur-oxidizing bacterium in genus Thiobacillus.

The pharmaceutical and hygienic productivity of wastewater containing pollutants, especially heavy metals such as nickel, andmercury are brought into the nature. Recently, bio-removal of heavy metals has attracted significant attention as an eco-friendly approach for the research departments of the pharmaceutical companies. In the current study, removal of heavy metals including mercury and nickel was assessed using isolatediron-oxidizing bacteria from different sources. To this end, bacterial populations were isolated from a variety of aquatic ecosystems; including Mahallat Pond, mountainous rivers, iron industry wastewater, and treated industrial wastewater. The bacteria were cultured and purified in iron-oxidizing media after which the removal of mercury and nickel was measured through culturing the isolated bacteria in 3 different media of Luria-Bertani, PHGII, and iron-oxidizing media containing the heavy metals (2 ppm). The results proved LB as a suitable medium for all the isolated bacteria in removing the heavy metals.It was shown that approximately 100% of the mercury was removed through the bacterial cultured in LB medium. The removal of nickel also reached its maximum of 30% by bacterial culture in LB medium. Then, the phylogenetic study according to 16S rDNA gene sequences showed thatthe isolated bacteria from iron industry wastewater was Bacillus velezensis CR-502 (T).In summary, this study demonstrated the impressive ability of these bacteria for mercury removal and theeffects of different mediaon the removal of mercury and nickel.

Summary Sulphur oxidizing bacteria were isolated from different samples viz., paddy rhizosphere, pulse rhizosphere, sewage, biogas slurry, tannery effluent and mine soil. Out of the 28 isolates obtained, 14 were screened based on their efficacy to reduce the pH of the growth medium from 8.0 to ≤5.0. The selected isolates were characterized and related to the genus Thiobacillus.
