T. denitrificans T. halophilus T. jannaschii T. nitratireducens T. nitratis T. paradoxus T. sulfidiphilus T. thiocyanodenitrificans T. thiocyanoxidans T. versutus Thioalcalovibrio[2] Thioalkalivibrio is a Gram-negative, mostly halophilic bacterial genus of the family Ectothiorhodospiraceae.
[1][2][3][4] In the last decade, several species of Thioalkalivibrio have been discovered, but these chemolithoautotrophic, haloalkaliphilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria had only been found in soda lakes in alkaline and saline habitats.
However, Sorokin and colleagues in 2012 isolated and grew out a novel Thioalkalivibrio sulfidiphilus, strain HL-EbGr7T, from a full-scale wastewater bioreactor after the hydrogen sulfide gas had been removed/[5] The Thioalkalivibrio sulfidiphilus strain HL-EbGr7T cells is long, slender, slightly curved, rod-shaped bacteria with a polar flagellum for motility.
[6] Strain HL-EBGrtT was obligately aerobic, could not use nitrite or nitrate as a nitrogen source, but could use urea and ammonia.
It was sensitive to chloramphenicol and resistant to ampicillin, kanamycin, tetracycline and rifampicin.
