Sulphur bacteria belongs to which group of bacteria called
Correct answer: C. Gamma-proteobacteria
- A. Beta-proteobacteria
- B. Alpha-proteobacteria
- C. Gamma-proteobacteria
- D. Delta-proteobacteria
Explanation
The correct answer is Gamma-proteobacteria. This group includes sulfur bacteria that oxidize hydrogen sulfide (H2S) to obtain energy, engaging in sulfur cycling. Beta-proteobacteria are involved in nitrogen recycling, Alpha-proteobacteria are known for their symbiotic relationships with eukaryotic hosts, and Delta-proteobacteria form complex structures and are not primarily involved in sulfur oxidation.
