Subject: NC_007404:974461 Thiobacillus denitrificans ATCC 25259, complete genome
Lineage: Thiobacillus denitrificans; Thiobacillus; Hydrogenophilaceae; Hydrogenophilales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from soil from Texas, USA. Iron- and sulfur-oxidizing bacterium. This organism was isolated from a biofilm obtained from a municipal wastewater treatment facility. It has subsequently been found in soil, mud, both freshwater and marine sediment, and industrial wastewater. It is a member of the beta proteobacteria and an obligate chemolithoautotroph.
