Beggiatoa
''Beggiatoa'' is a genus of bacteria in the order Thiotrichales. They are named after the Italian medic and botanist ''F.S. Beggiato''. The organisms live in sulfur-rich environments. During his research in Anton de Bary’s laboratory of botany in 1887, Russian botanist Sergei Winogradsky found that ''Beggiatoa'' oxidized hydrogen sulfide (H2S) as an energy source, forming intracellular sulfur droplets. Winogradsky referred to this form of metabolism as inorgoxidation (oxidation of inorganic compounds). The finding represented the first discovery of lithotrophy. Up to now there is only one species of this genus known (Beggiatoa alba)〔(LSPN bacterio.net )〕 == Habitat == ''Beggiatoa'' can be found in marine or freshwater environments. They can usually be found in habitats that have high levels of hydrogen sulfide. These environments include cold seeps, sulfur springs, sewage contaminated water, mud layers of lakes, and near deep hydrothermal vents. ''Beggiatoa'' can also be found in the rhizosphere of swamp plants.〔Michael Dudley. ("Beggiatoa". )〕
