Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
Photosynthetic sulphur bacteria get hydrogen ions for CO2 reduction from
A
Water
B
Hydrogen sulphide
C
Molecular hydrogen
D
Hydrogen peroxide
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Phototrophic sulfur bacteria are characterized by the ability to oxidize various inorganic sulfur compounds. Such compounds include, for example, hydrogen sulfide, elemental sulfur, and thiosulfate.

Detailed explanation-2: -Thus, the correct answer is ‘Hydrogen sulphide.

Detailed explanation-3: -Some bacteria – such as Proteus, Campylobacter, Pseudomonas and Salmonella – have the ability to reduce sulfur, but can also use oxygen and other terminal electron acceptors.

Detailed explanation-4: -Photosynthetic bacteria produce hydrogen from organic compounds by an anaerobic light-dependent electron transfer process.
