Chromatographic analysis was used for studying steps of thiosulfate oxidation by Thiobacillus thioparus and Th. coproliticus strains, isolated from Egyptian soil. Th. thioparus strains oxidized S2O3 to SO4 with the formation of polythionates, tetrathionate in particular, during the course of oxidation. However, strains differed in other polythionates formed. Th. coproliticus, in turn, oxidized S2O3 to SO4 without polythionate formation. However, H2S was the only intermediate compound detected during oxidation.
采用色谱分析研究了从埃及土壤中分离出的排硫硫杆菌和粪硫杆菌菌株对硫代硫酸盐的氧化步骤。排硫硫杆菌菌株在氧化过程中将S2O3氧化为SO4，同时形成多硫化合物，尤其是连四硫酸盐。然而，不同菌株形成的其他多硫化合物有所不同。粪硫杆菌则将S2O3氧化为SO4，且不形成多硫化合物。不过，氧化过程中检测到的唯一中间化合物是H2S。
