  abstract = {{W}e found that #{T}hermosipho africanus$ was able to ferment {D}-glucose, {D}-ribose, maltose, and starch, while {D}-galactose, fructose, and sucrose were utilized poorly. {A}cetate, {H}2, and {CO}2, as well as small amounts of ethanol and lactate, were end products of glucose metabolism in this organism. {T}he presence of thiosulfate as an electron acceptor greatly improved growth and increased acetate production from the sugars. {T}he genus #{T}hermosipho$ is the only genus in the order #{T}hermotogales$ that has been described as a non-carbohydrate fermenter. {W}e propose that the description of the genus #{T}hermosipho$ be emended because the only species in this genus, #{T}. africanus$, is a carbohydrate fermenter that is able to utilize thiosulfate as an electron acceptor.
