Abstract
The nucleotide sequence of the complete gene of 16S rRNA of the type s train of Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans VKM-1269 has been determin ed. This organism represents a group of moderately thermophilic acidop hilic chemolithotrophic bacteria, able to use ferrous and sulfur compo unds as the sole energy source. The phylogenetic position indicates th at this bacterium is a representative of the clostridium-Bacillus subp hylum of the domain Bacteria. Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans forms a single cluster with members of the genus Alicyclobacillus.
