Chlorobium limicola forma thiosulfatophilum (ATCC 17092) was grown in a 1-liter continuously stirred tank reactor (800-ml liquid volume) at pH 6.8, 30 degrees C, saturated light intensity, and a gas flow rate of 23.6 ml/min from a gas cylinder blend consisting of 3.9 mol% H(2)S, 9.2 mol% CO(2), 86.4 mol% N(2), and 0.5 mol% H(2). This is the first demonstration of photoautotrophic growth of a Chlorobium sp. on a continuous inorganic gas feed. A significant potential exists for applying this photoautotrophic process to desulfurization and CO(2) fixation of gases containing acidic components (H(2)S and CO(2)).
绿硫菌（Chlorobium limicola forma thiosulfatophilum）（ATCC 17092）在 pH 值为 6.8、30°C、饱和光照强度和气体流速为 23.6ml/min 的条件下，于 1 升连续搅拌罐式反应器（800-ml 液体体积）中生长，气体来自由 3.9 mol% H₂S、9.2 mol% CO₂、86.4 mol% N₂和 0.5 mol% H₂组成的混合气瓶。这是首次在连续的无机气体进料上证明绿硫菌属（Chlorobium）的光合作用自养生长。该光自养过程在含有酸性成分（H₂S 和 CO₂）的气体的脱硫和 CO₂固定方面具有很大的应用潜力。
