Abstract:Hydrogen sul de is a highly toxic gas that causes many economic losses in aquaculture ponds. The application of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) to remove hydrogen sul de is an eco-friendly approach. This study aimed to isolate and identify the most e cient SOBs from the sediment of warm-water sh farms. Enrichment and isolation were performed in three different culture media (Starkey, Postgate, and H-3) based on both mineral and organic carbon. Overall, 27 isolates (14 autotrophic and 13 heterotrophic isolates)… Show more
