Thiobacillus species

A sulfur-oxidizing bacterium known for its bioleaching capabilities in environmental applications. Recent studies highlight its potential in detoxifying heavy metals and improving gut microbiota balance.

• Animal Healthcare: Plays a role in detoxifying heavy metals in livestock exposed to contaminated feed or water, reducing toxicity and promoting better health.

​​

• Nutraceutical Industry: Used in detoxification supplements to support liver function and reduce oxidative damage caused by environmental toxins.

Thiobacillus thiooxidans is a sulfur-oxidizing, acidophilic bacterium that converts sulfur compounds into sulfuric acid, playing a crucial role in detoxification and nutrient cycling.

• Animal Healthcare: It helps reduce toxic hydrogen sulfide in the gut, improving digestion, respiratory health, and mineral absorption while also controlling sulfur-based odors in farms.
