Chlorobium limicola is a gram negative bacterial member of green sulfur bacteria genus found in freshwater hot springs.

C. limicola is a non-motile mesophile, photoautotrophic / photosynthetic strict anaerobe important to carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles in anoxic freshwater environments.

[1] Strain DSMZ 245 T was isolated from Gilroy Hot Springs in California, and whole genome sequencing was accomplished.

[3][1] As a green sulfur bacteria, C. limicola fixes carbon via reverse TCA cycle reactions.
