    • Filaments also completely dissolved under the microscope when seawater was gradually exchanged with ethanol, and they melted into spheres when illuminated by high-intensity near-ultraviolet (UV) light at the absorption band for sulfur (excitation bandpass, 340 to 390 nm). Both filaments and finely ground commercial sublimed elemental sulfur absorb sufficient near-UV radiation to be heated to their melting point, even when immersed in water. Filamentous sulfur washed in distilled water and steam sterilized (three times at 110°C) supported chemolithoautotrophic growth of two Thiomicrospira species (16). Both organisms grew nearly as quickly on the filamentous sulfur as they did on soluble thiosulfate, and twice as fast as when grown on commercial sublimed elemental sulfur. Ethanol solubility and ease of microbial utilization probably reflect the hydrophilic nature of the filaments.

    • Like the laboratory reactor filaments, the vent filamentous material was not stainable with acridine orange, was soluble in alcohol, and exhibited an identical melting response under the microscope when exposed to near-UV light.
