Sulfurospirillum (/ˌsʌlfɜːroʊspɪˈrɪlʌm/ SULF-ur-oh-spə-RIHL-um) is a genus of the gram-negative, aerotolerant, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Campylobactaeraceae.[2]

Phylogeny

The currently accepted taxonomy is based on the List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN)[3] and National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI)[4]

16S rRNA based LTP_10_2024[5][6][7]

120 marker proteins based GTDB 09-RS220[8][9][10]

Unassigned Sulfurospirillum species:

• "S. carboxydovorans" Jensen & Finster 2005[19]
• "S. tacomaensis" Pietari 2002[20]

Details

Many species are microaerophillic, and are thus found in soil, groundwater, the deep sea, marine surface sediments, tube worm guts, and polluted environments.[21] Many species can grow on toxic compounds such as arsenate and selenate, and in fact flourish in contaminated sites.[21] The Sulfurospirillum genus contains the only species on the planet that can respire organohalides.[21] No species in the Sulfurospirillum genus have been found to be pathogenic thus far.
