  1. sulphur bacteria

    Sulphur bacteria are a type of bacteria that use sulfur compounds, instead of oxygen, for respiration and energy production. They are mostly anaerobic and can be found in environments with high sulfur concentration, such as hot springs, sulfur-rich soil, or deep-sea vents. Depending on their type, some sulfur bacteria use sulfites or hydrogen sulfide for oxidation, while others reduce sulfate to create hydrogen sulfide as a waste product. They play a key role in the sulfur cycle, breaking down and recycling sulfur in the environment.
