THIOCLAVA PACIFICA
| Class: | Alpha Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thioclava |
| Species: | Thioclava pacifica |
| Description: | Thioclava pacifica, a novel facultatively autotrophic, marine, sulfur-oxidizing bacterium from a near-shore sulfidic hydrothermal area .Strain TL 2T was isolated on mineral medium with thiosulfate from a near-shore sulfidic hydrothermal area in Matupi Harbour on the island of New Britain, Papua New Guinea. The cells varied from long filaments with swollen ends, often aggregated, to short rods, depending on the growth conditions. The bacterium was obligately aerobic and grew autotrophically with thiosulfate as energy source or heterotrophically with organic acids and sugars. |
