Abstract

Members of the genera Sulfolobus, Acidianus and Metallospbaera were found to be able to grow chemolithoautotrophically on H-2/O2. Under these conditions, the strains grew between about 0.2 and 10% O2 per vol. (opt: almost-equal-to 1% O2). The oxidation of H-2 by O2 was confirmed by the addition of D2 as a tracer. To our knowledge, this is the first demonstration of H-2 oxidation by O2 among the Archaea.
