Sulfurovum lithotrophicum

Sulfurovum lithotrophicum is a science topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Sulfurovum lithotrophicum rather than just read about it. In short: Sulfurovum lithotrophicum is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph within the ε-Proteobacteria isolated from Okinawa Trough hydrothermal sediments.

Key takeaways

Sulfurovum lithotrophicum belongs to science; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Sulfurovum lithotrophicum to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Sulfurovum lithotrophicum from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Sulfurovum lithotrophicum is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph within the ε-Proteobacteria isolated from Okinawa Trough hydrothermal sediments. It is mesophilic and also oxidises thiosulfate. It is a gram-negative, non-motile and coccoid to oval-shaped bacterium. The type strain is 42BKTT (=ATCC BAA-797T =JCM 12117T).

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Sulfurovum lithotrophicum

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Sulfurovum lithotrophicum claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Sulfurovum lithotrophicum before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Sulfurovum lithotrophicum ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Sulfurovum lithotrophicum

In research: Sulfurovum lithotrophicum appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Sulfurovum lithotrophicum in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Sulfurovum lithotrophicum is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Bacteria described in 2004, Campylobacterota, Campylobacterota stubs, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Sulfurovum lithotrophicum outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
