Chromatiales resmi

Açıklama:

Chromatium (chrome-ace-ee-um) is a red sulphur bacterium (or purple sulphur bacterium). It is found in sediments above the reduced zone. It uses solar energy to assist in the oxidation of hydrogen sulphide producing elemental sulphur which is deposited within the bacterial cell as sulphur granules. Photosynthetic pigments are pink which give the cell its distinctive colour. It is one of a variety of bacteria which metabolise sulphur compounds and deposit sulphur granules within the cells - both red (such as Thiocystis), and colourless (such as Beggiatoa, Achromatium, Thiovulvum, and others). Not all Chromatium are as large as this cell. Phase contrast.
