THERMOTHRIX AZORENSIS

Class: Beta Proteobacteria
Genus: Thermothrix
Species: Thermothrix azorensis
Description: Thermothrix azorensis is a Gram-negative, facultatively chemolithoautotrophic, nonspore-forming, aerobic, thermophilic, sulfur-oxidizing bacterium of the genus Thermothrix, isolated from a hot spring on Sao Miguel Island in the Azores. T. azorensis uses thiosulfate, tetrathionate, hydrogen sulfide, and elemental sulfur for its sources of energy (chemolithoautotrophic).
