Summary The transformation of hydrogen sulfide into elementary sulfur and sulfate was investigated in a photo-bioreactor using autotropic bacteriaChlorobium thiosulfatophilum. The accumulations of sulfur and sulfate in the reactor were found to be dependent on the light energy and the feed rate of H2S. The optimum operation lines were established to limit sulfide or sulfate. Immobilization of the whole cells in strontium-alginate matrix enhanced the conversion more than with the free cells.
