Thiobacillus
''Thiobacillus'' is a genus of Gram-negative Betaproteobacteria. '' Thiobacillus thioparus'' is the type species of the genus, and the type strain thereof is the StarkeyT strain, isolated by Robert Starkey in the 1930s from a field at Rutgers University in the United States of America. While over 30 "species" have been named in this genus since it was defined by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904, (the first strain was observed by the biological oceanographer Alexander Nathansohn in 1902 - likely what we would now call ''Halothiobacillus neapolitanus''), most names were never validly or effectively published. The remainder were either reclassified into ''Paracoccus'', '' Starkeya'' (both in the Alphaproteobacteria); '' Sulfuriferula'', ''Annwoodia'', ''Thiomonas'' (in the Betaproteobacteria); ''Halothiobacillus'', ''Guyparkeria'' (in the Gammaproteobacteria), or ''Thermithiobacillus'' or ''Acidithiobacillus'' (in the Acidithiobacillia).

Annwoodia
The genus ''Annwoodia'' was named in 2017 to circumscribe an organism previously described as a member of the genus ''Thiobacillus'', ''Thiobacillus aquaesulis'' - the type and only species is ''Annwoodia aquaesulis'', which was isolated from the geothermal waters of the Roman Baths in the city of Bath in the United Kingdom by Ann P. Wood and Donovan P. Kelly of the University of Warwick - the genus was subsequently named to honour Wood's contribution to microbiology. The genus falls within the family '' Thiobacillaceae'' along with ''Thiobacillus'' and '' Sulfuritortus'', both of which comprise autotrophic organisms dependent on thiosulfate, other sulfur oxyanions and sulfide as electron donors for chemolithoheterotrophic growth. Whilst ''Annwoodia'' spp. and '' Sulfuritortus'' spp. are thermophilic, ''Thiobacillus'' spp. are mesophilic. ''A. aquaesulis'' is moderately thermophilic with an optimum temperature of 43 °C and a temperature range of 30 °C to 55 °C ...

Acidithiobacillus
''Acidithiobacillus'' is a genus of the ''Acidithiobacillia'' in the " Pseudomonadota". The genus includes acidophilic organisms capable of iron and/or sulfur oxidation. Like all ''"Pseudomonadota"'', ''Acidithiobacillus'' spp. are Gram-negative. They are also important generators of acid mine drainage, which is a major environmental problem around the world in mining. Genus ''Acidithiobacillus'' ''Acidithiobacillus'' are acidophilic obligate autotrophs (''Acidithiobacillus caldus'' can also grow mixotrophically) that use elementary sulfur, tetrathionate and ferrous iron as electron donors. They assimilate carbon from carbon dioxide using the transaldolase variant of the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle. The genus comprises motile, rod-shaped cells that can be isolated from low pH environments including low pH microenvironments on otherwise neutral mineral grains. Phylogeny The order Acidithiobacillales (i.e. ''Thermithiobacillus'') were formerly members of the ''Gammaproteobacter ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Thiobacillus Denitrificans
''Thiobacillus denitrificans'' is a Gram-negative, obligate chemolithoautotroph. It was originally discovered by Martinus Beijerinck in 1904. Metabolism ''T. denitrificans'' is particularly notable for its ability to oxidize sulfur and uranium compounds in a nitrate-dependent manner. Genetics The genome of ''T. denitrificans'' has been sequenced. The genome is a single circular chromosome consisting of 2.9 Mbps and with a GC-content of 66.1%.

Guyparkeria
''Guyparkeria'' is a genus in the '' Gammaproteobacteria''. Both species are obligate aerobic bacteria; they require oxygen to grow. They are also halophilic and have varying degrees of thermophilicity. They live in environments with high concentrations of salt or other solutes, such as in hydrothermal vent plumes or in hypersaline playas, and do require high sodium ion concentrations in order to grow, as is also the case in the other genus of the same family, '' Thioalkalibacter'' Both species of this genus were originally published as members of the genus ''Thiobacillus'', before they were reclassified in 2000 to ''Halothiobacillus'',Kelly, D.P., and Wood, A.P.

Halothiobacillus
''Halothiobacillus'' is a genus in the ''Gammaproteobacteria''. Both species are obligate aerobic bacteria; they require oxygen to grow. They are also halotolerant; they live in environments with high concentrations of salt or other solutes, but don't require them in order to grow. The type species of this genus, ''Halothiobacillus neapolitanus'' used to be members of the genus ''Thiobacillus'', before they were reclassified in 2000.Kelly, D.P., and Wood, A.P.

Betaproteobacteria
Betaproteobacteria are a class of Gram-negative bacteria, and one of the eight classes of the phylum Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria). The ''Betaproteobacteria'' are a class comprising over 75 genera and 400 species of bacteria. Together, the ''Betaproteobacteria'' represent a broad variety of metabolic strategies and occupy diverse environments from obligate pathogens living within host organisms to oligotrophic groundwater ecosystems. Whilst most members of the ''Betaproteobacteria'' are heterotrophic, deriving both their carbon and electrons from organocarbon sources, some are photoheterotrophic, deriving energy from light and carbon from organocarbon sources. Other genera are autotrophic, deriving their carbon from bicarbonate or carbon dioxide and their electrons from reduced inorganic ions such as nitrite, ammonium, thiosulfate or sulfide — many of these chemolithoautotrophic. ''Betaproteobacteria'' are economically important, with roles in maintaining soil p ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pseudomonadota
Pseudomonadota (synonym Proteobacteria) is a major phylum of Gram-negative bacteria. The renaming of phyla in 2021 remains controversial among microbiologists, many of whom continue to use the earlier names of long standing in the literature. The phylum Proteobacteria includes a wide variety of pathogenic genera, such as ''Escherichia'', '' Salmonella'', ''Vibrio'', ''Yersinia'', ''Legionella'', and many others.Slonczewski JL, Foster JW, Foster E. Microbiology: An Evolving Science 5th Ed. WW Norton & Company; 2020. Others are free-living (nonparasitic) and include many of the bacteria responsible for nitrogen fixation. Carl Woese established this grouping in 1987, calling it informally the "purple bacteria and their relatives". Because of the great diversity of forms found in this group, it was later informally named Proteobacteria, after Proteus, a Greek god of the sea capable of assuming many different shapes (not after the Proteobacteria genus ''Proteus'').
