Halophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the genus occur at both marine and terrestrial habitats. Common physiological characteristics displayed by isolates have not yet been linked to the metabolic potential encoded in their genetic inventory. To provide a genetic basis for understanding the metabolism of , nine genomes were compared to reveal the metabolic capabilities and adaptations. A detailed account is given on 's ability to assimilate carbon by fixation, to oxidize reduced sulfur, to oxidize thiocyanate, and to cope with salinity stress.
属于该属的嗜盐硫氧化细菌存在于海洋和陆地生境中。该属分离株所表现出的常见生理特征尚未与它们基因库中编码的代谢潜力联系起来。为了提供理解该属代谢的遗传基础,比较了9个基因组以揭示其代谢能力和适应性。详细阐述了该属通过固定作用同化碳、氧化还原态硫、氧化硫氰酸盐以及应对盐度胁迫的能力。
