Query: NC_007575:1484305 Sulfurimonas denitrificans DSM 1251, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfurimonas denitrificans; Sulfurimonas; Helicobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organsim is a sulfur-oxidizing bacterium isolated isolated from estuarine mud in the Netherlands. Sulfur-oxidizing bacterium. Sulfurimonas denitrificans, formerly Thiomicrospira denitrificans, is a denitrifying chemolithoautotroph that uses sulfide or thiosulfate and nitrate or nitrite as the electron donor and acceptor. This organism has been identified in hydrothermal vent areas and from oilfields and may play a role in the cycling of sulfur in these environments.

Subject: NC_009663:89224 Sulfurovum sp. NBC37-1, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfurovum; Sulfurovum; Helicobacteraceae; Campylobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Iheya North field in the Mid-Okinawa Trough, Japan as part of a larger diversity study. This rod-shaped bacterium grows chemolithoautotrophically and can utilize a wide spectrum of electron donors and acceptors (i.e. hydrogen, sulfur compounds, nitrate and oxygen). It can occupy different ecological niches, and its metabolic versatility probably enables it to adapt to the geochemical variability in deep-sea hydrothermal environments.
