Why is p vulgaris positive in the H2S test?
P. vulgaris is H2S positive because it obtains its energy by oxidizing organic compounds or molecular hydrogen H2 while reducing sulfates to sulfides,especially to hydrogen sulfide.[1] In a sense, they "breathe" sulfate rather than oxygen. Sulfate-reducing bacteria can be traced back to 3 billion years ago and are considered to be among the oldest forms of bacteria.Many bacteria reduce small amounts of sulfates in order to synthesize sulfur-containing cell components; this is known as assimilatory sulfate reduction. By contrast, the sulfate-reducing bacteria reduce sulfate in large amounts to obtain energy and expel the resulting sulfides as waste; this is known as dissimilatory sulfate reduction. They are anaerobes which use sulfate as the terminal electron acceptor of their electron transport chain.Most sulfate-reducing bacteria can also reduce other oxidized inorganic sulfur compounds, such as sulfite, thiosulfate, or elemental sulfur (see sulfur-reducing bacteria
