Colmer, Arthur R. (Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge). Relation of the iron oxidizer, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, to thiosulfate. J. Bacteriol. 83:761–765. 1962.—A restudy has been made of Thiobacillus ferrooxidans secured from the acid drainage of some northern West Virginia coal mines. Cultures isolated from ferrous iron agar and then subcultured for 85 consecutive transfers in thiosulfate broth during a period of 14 months were able to use ferrous iron as their energy source when returned to ferrous iron broth.
