They are Anaerobic organism anaerobic or microaerophilic , and are often found in hot spring s or stagnant water . Unlike Plantae plants , algae , and cyanobacteria , they do not use water as their reducing agent , and so do not produce oxygen . Instead they use hydrogen sulfide , which is Redox oxidized to produce granules of elemental sulfur . This in turn may be oxidized to form sulfuric acid .

Like most other photosynthetic bacteria, purplebacteria do not produce oxygen , because the reducing agent electron donor involved in photosynthesis is not water. In some, called purplesulfurbacteria , it is either sulfide or elemental sulfur . The others, called purple non sulfurbacteria aka PNSB , typically use hydrogen although some ... show the purplebacteria make up a variety of separate groups, each closer relatives of non photosynthetic proteobacteria than one another. History Purplebacteria were the first bacteria discovered to photosynthesize without having an oxygen byproduct. Instead, their byproduct is sulfur. This was proved by first establishing the bacteria s reactions to different concentrations of oxygen. What was found was that the bacteria moved quickly away from even the slightest trace of oxygen. Then a dish of the bacteria was taken, and a light was focused on one part of the dish leaving the rest dark. As the bacteria cannot survive without light, all the bacteria moved into the circle of light, becoming very crowded. If the bacteria s byproduct was oxygen, the distances between individuals would become larger and larger as more oxygen was produced. But because of the bacteria s behavior in the focused light, it was concluded that the bacteria s photosynthetic byproduct could not be oxygen.

Sulfur reducing bacteria SRB get their energy by redox reaction reducing elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide . They couple this reaction with the oxidation of acetate , succinate or other organic compounds . Several types of bacteria and many non methanogen ic archaea can reduce sulfur. Some bacteria ndash such as Proteus bacterium Proteus , Campylobacter , Pseudomonas and Salmonella ndash have the ability to reduce sulfur, but can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors. Others, such as Desulfuromonas , use only sulfur. These bacteria can be used in industrial processes to generate hydrogen sulfide for the precipitation of metals. Some bacteria can use both elemental sulfur and sulfate as electron acceptors. See sulfate reducing bacteria . References cite book last1 Brock first1 Thomas D. authorlink1 Thomas D.

Sulfur water is a condition where the running water contains a high amount of hydrogen sulfide gas that escapes into the air when the plumbing line is opened, giving a distinct rotten egg smell. Cause The condition is not dangerous, but indicates a high level of sulfate red xcxcx ucing bacteria in the water supply. This may be due to the use of well water, poorly treated city water, or water heater contamination. Treatment how to date September 2011 Treatment for sulfur water is turning up the temperature setting on the water heater to over 140 F and running it for several hours, letting others know you have scalding water running in your pipes, and then flushing the water heater clean. The heat is supposed to kill the bacteria. One should also get a good water filter to remove all mineral and chemical impurities at the tap.
