THIOALKALIVIBRIO PARADOXUS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Thioalkalivibrio |
| Species: | Thioalkalivibrio paradoxus |
| Description: | The cells are large, non-motile, barrel-like rods (0.8-1 x 1.2-2μm) with capsules. Able to grow with thiocyanate as the sole energy, nitrogen and sulfur source.During growth with thiocyanate and thiosulfate, they form sulfur globules, each surrounded by a membrane,inside the cells. |
