Growth response of several type strains of the OM60/NOR5 clade in batch culture with and without thiosulfate.


Strain	Presence of sox genes*	Carbon source	Growth yield
			No thiosulfate	10 mM thiosulfate

C. litoralis DSM 17192^T	+	5 mM pyruvate	0.168	0.111
		10 mM pyruvate + 1 g L⁻¹ Y.E.	0.676	0.495
L. syltensis DSM 22749^T	+	5 mM pyruvate	0.244	0.208
		10 mM pyruvate + 1 g L⁻¹ Y.E.	0.814	0.588
C. halotolerans DSM 23344^T	−	5 mM pyruvate	0.156	0.142
		10 mM pyruvate + 1 g L⁻¹ Y.E.	0.871	0.744
P. rubra DSM 19751^T	−	5 mM pyruvate	0.202	0.161
		10 mM pyruvate + 1 g L⁻¹ Y.E.	0.407	0.366

Batch cultures grown in the complex medium SYPHC were incubated under air atmosphere, whereas cultures grown in defined marine medium with 5 mM pyruvate as substrate were incubated under semiaerobic conditions. The growth yield was determined as maximum optical density reached in early stationary phase. *Data from Spring et al. 2013 [6].
