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.
