Abstract Phototrophic growth of Chromatium vinosum strain D on pyruvate or malate, and of Thiocapsa roseopersicina strain 6311 on malate or sulfide as sole electron donors was promotedby 5 mᴍ ʟ-ascorbate, while growth of T. roseopersicina on fructose was inhibited. Slow growth was obtained also with ascorbate alone. In ascorbate-containing cultures the medium developed a yellow to red-brown colour which showed an absorption maximum at 310 -320 nm. As colourless products of ʟ-ascorbic acid degradation by the two strains examined erythroascorbic acid and 2,3-enediol pentonic acid were found in cell-free culture filtrates by gas chromatographic analysis of the silylated residues and identified by their mass, IR and UV spectra.

Colour changes and other marked disturbances were observed at a high-rate photosynthetic pond system at Alcochete, Portugal. Previous chemical and microbiological tests made it possible to attribute these occurrences to the proliferation of purple sulfur bacteria, following the probable production of sulfide inside the ponds by sulfate-reducing bacteria. Results from more recent tests and observations are presented, which confirm the earlier conclusions, in addition to revealing a number of inadequacies in the ponds chosen operating conditions, which are in all probability at the origin of the observed disturbances. Corrective actions planned include a more efficient mixing of pond contents, the strict prevention of contamination with salty estuarine waters and the control of residence times and bottom sludge accumulation.

Two isolates, designated CadH11T and Cad448T, representing uncultured purple sulfur bacterial populations H and 448, respectively, in the chemocline of Lake Cadagno, a crenogenic meromictic lake in Switzerland, were obtained using enrichment and isolation conditions that resembled those used for cultured members of the genus Thiocystis. Phenotypic, genotypic and phylogenetic analyses of these isolates confirmed their assignment to the genus Thiocystis. However, 16S rRNA gene sequence similarities of 98.2 % between CadH11T and Cad448T, and similarities of 97.7 and 98.5 %, respectively, with their closest cultured relative Thiocystis gelatinosa DSM 215T, as well as differences in DNA G+C content and carbon source utilization suggested that the isolates belonged to two distinct species. DNA–DNA hybridization of CadH11T and Cad448T with T. gelatinosa DSM 215T showed relatedness values of 46.4 and 60.8 %, respectively; the relatedness value between CadH11T and Cad448T was 59.2 %. Based on this evidence, strains CadH11T and Cad448T represent two novel species within the genus Thiocystis, for which the names Thiocystis chemoclinalis sp. nov. and Thiocystis cadagnonensis sp. nov. are proposed, respectively. The type strains of T. chemoclinalis sp. nov. and T. cadagnonensis sp. nov. are CadH11T ( = JCM 15112T  = KCTC 5954T) and Cad448T ( = JCM 15111T  = KCTC 15001T), respectively.
