Summary The properties of a newly isolated fresh-water purple bacterium (strain 51) are discussed. This bacterium was found to oxidize sulfide to extracellular sulfur and sulfate during phototrophic growth with sulfide as the electron donor. However, strain 51 differs in many aspects from the Ectothiorhodospira species which thus far were the only purple bacteria known to exhibit this characteristic. The new isolate appeared to show more resemblance toRhodopseudomonas capsulata although some differences with this species exist as well. During growth in batch cultures with hydrogen sulfide as the electron donor, strain 51 did not produce sulfate in significant amounts before sulfide had been completely oxidized.
