Thiothrix Details: NCBI 1030, gram-negative or unknown [genus]

| Thiothrix| Thiothrix Winogradsky 1888 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Howarth et al. 1999

1. Sulfur Metabolism: Thiothrix bacteria are sulfur-oxidizing bacteria that play a role in the sulfur cycle. They oxidize hydrogen sulfide to elemental sulfur or sulfate as part of their metabolic processes.

2. Environmental Distribution: Thiothrix species are commonly found in wastewater treatment plants, sewage, and other aquatic environments where sulfur compounds are present. They may form visible, slimy structures known as sulfur flocs.

3. Bioremediation: Thiothrix bacteria have been studied for their potential use in bioremediation processes, particularly in the removal of sulfide and other sulfur compounds from wastewater.

4. Limited Pathogenicity: Thiothrix bacteria are not generally associated with causing diseases in humans. Instead, they are more commonly studied in the context of environmental microbiology.

5. Formation of Biofilms: Thiothrix and similar sulfur-oxidizing bacteria are known for their ability to form biofilms, which are structured communities of microorganisms attached to surfaces. Biofilms can have implications for water quality and the functioning of wastewater treatment systems.

6. Water Quality Concerns: While Thiothrix itself is not pathogenic to humans, the presence of certain sulfur compounds in water, such as hydrogen sulfide, can pose health risks at high concentrations due to their toxicity.

Lab Reporting

Different labs use different software to read the sample. See this post for more details.
One lab may say you have none, another may say you have a lot! - This may be solely due to the software they are using to estimate.
We deem lab specific values using values from the KM method for each specific lab to be the most reliable.

Desired Levels Suggestions for Thiothrix

• Lab Low and High are calculated using the formula that most labs use: Mean - 1.95 Standard Deviation to Mean + 1.95 Standard Deviation

These are values that are computed from lab specific samples and are in percentage
