Sulfurimonas autotrophica DSM 16294

Sulfurimonas autotrophica (strain ATCC BAA-671 / DSM 16294 / JCM 11897 / OK10) is a mesophilic, sulfur- and thiosulfate-oxidizing, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from deep-sea sediments at the Hatoma Knoll in the Mid-Okinawa Trough hydrothermal field. Cells are short rods, each being motile by means of a single polar flagellum. Sulfurimonas autotrophica grows between 10-40 degrees Celsius with an optimum at 25 degrees Celsius and pH between 4.5-9.0 with an optimum pH 6.5. It grows chemolithoautotrophically with elemental sulfur, sulfide and thiosulfate as sole electron donors and oxygen as electron acceptor. Molecular hydrogen does not support growth.
