Keywords elemental sulfur oxidation
Description Both the v and Y demonstrated very different values which exceeded one order; this difference was more apparent under different culture conditions (a rotary shaker, a bioreactor, different initial pH and sulfur concentration). However, no trend changes of the v and Y within the same culture occurred. The changes in the Y values are related to the varying metabolic utilization of elemental sulfur for growth or energy formation. Although the results showed a high Y variability, the reason for the significant Y changes among different cultures of the same strain remains unclear. No significant correlation between the v and Y values was observed for most of data; however, some higher v values indicated a downward trend of Y values under the rotary shaker cultivation.
