Beggiatoa (beg-ee-a-toe-a), commonly seen on the surface of very rich sediments - such as those of salt marshes. The bacteria metabolise reduced hydrogen sulphide and produce granules of sulphur as a by product. They can be seen within the cells which make up this filament. Differential interference contrast.
