Can the bacteria "Thiobacillus thiooxidans" be nutritionally stressed to degrade more sulfur than its actual diet? What is the procedure to make them competitive? How long does it take?

Christopher Lloyd

A useful study for you to consider would be "Applied and Environmental Microbiology, June 2007, p. 3752-3754, Vol. 73, No. 11" - these researchers studied what % of sulfur was being used for various metabolic functions and discuss what steps are taken in culture to increase sulfur oxidation. A link to the paper is provided: http://aem.asm.org/cgi/reprint/73/11/3752 (but you may have to have a subscription to view it).
