Range	Table - link
Organism	Bacteria Thiobacillus
Reference	Donovan P. Kelly, Thermodynamic aspects of energy conservation by chemolithotrophic sulfur bacteria in relation to the sulfur oxidation pathways, MINI-REVIEW, Arch Microbiol (1999) 171 : 219–229 Table 1
Method	The theoretical CO2 fixation was calculated as (Delta G° for oxidation)/(Delta G° for CO2 fixation) = (Delta G° for oxidation)/ 113 = mol CO2 fixed (mol substrate oxidized for energy)– 1. The observed CO2 fixation was calculated from growth yields in the chemostat as mol CO2 fixed (mol substrate oxidized for energy)–1
