Abstract
Studies have been made of the composition, morphology and ability to metabolize sulfides of certain autotrophic microorganisms collected from the neighborhood of fumaroles. Some are thermophilic and resemble the Sulfolobus described in the United States by Brock and the Brierleys. Others, living at lower temperatures, resemble but are in certain respects different from thiobacteria. They have been more effective than sulfur bacteria in attacking chalcopyrite and their reaction with this mineral is described. Attention is given to their pleomorphism and to their possibly primitive nature. Differences noted between strains from different localities emphasize the desirability of obtaining and testing samples from many sources, Our
