At the end of the nineteenth century, first reports on the formation and the identification of sulfur globules were published with Beggiatoa bac- teria fed with a solution containing hydrogen sulfide [1]. Since then, a large variety of bacteria that are capable of sulfur formation have been reported [2–4]. The sulfur formed by these bacteria is an intermediate in the oxida- tion of sulfide or thiosulfate to sulfate and the bacteria are sulfur compound oxidizing bacteria, often called sulfur bacteria (SB). In Fig. 1 the role of these sulfur compound oxidizing bacteria in the biological sulfur cycle is pointed out. The biological sulfur cycle consists of a continuous oxidation and reduc- tion of sulfur compounds by microorganisms or plants. On the left hand side of the cycle in Fig. 1 the most reduced sulfur compound is shown (sul- fide) and on the right hand side the most oxidized form of sulfur (sulfate).
