C.  aThe isolation and characteristics of an organism oxidizing thiocyanate.  c1954  aThe isolation, morphology, cultural characteristics and growth requirements of an autotroph which oxidizes thiocyanate  are described. It is suggested that the organism be assigned to the genus Thiobacillus. The oxidation of thiocynate by bacteria was described by Happold & Key (1937); it was not then realized that the organism was an autotroph until it was isolated in pure culture (Happold, Johnstone & Rogers, 1952). The present paper contains a fuller description of the organism. The literature will be more comprehensively reviewed in late paper on the metabolism of the organism.  aHCN  aThiobacillus Thiocyanoxidans1 aJOHNSTONF, K. I.1 aROGERS, H. J.1 aYOUATT, J. B.  tJ. Gen.
