The purple sulfur bacterium Thiocapsa roseopersicina was examined for photo-autotrophic growth on dimethyl sulfide (DMS). The maximum specific growth rate μmax (0.068 h−1), saturation constant Ks (38 μm l−1), and yield (5.24 mg protein mmol−1 DMS) were determined in chemostat experiments. Dimethyl sulfoxide was the only product of DMS oxidation. Batch experiments revealed the simultaneous oxidation of DMS and hydrogen sulfide.
