Sulfobacillus Thermosulfidooxidans
Description and Significance
S. thermosulfidooxidans was first isolated by in 1978 by Golovacheva and Karavaiko from a copper-zinc-pyrite deposit in Kazakhstan.[3] It is a strictly aerobic, Gram-positive, non-motile, spore-forming, bacillus. S. thermosulfidooxidans is thermophilic and acidophilic with a temperature range of 20-60°C and pH range of 1.5 – 5.5, however optimum growth occurs at approximately 50-55°C with a pH of 1.9 – 2.4.(4) There are three know strains of S. thermosulfidooxidans. These strains include S.thermosulfidooxidans str Cutipay, S. thermosulfidooxidans ST, and S. thermosulfidooxidans DSM 9293.(5)[4]
Genome Structure
A draft genome sequence has been created of S. thermosulfidooxidans str Cutipay using whole genome shotgun sequencing with a mixed technology method.(6) This strain has a genome assembly containing 3,862,012 bp.(6) The genome contains 3,600 genes including Sulfur and Carbon metabolizing enzymes.(6) Arsenic resistance arsRB operon was found which includes arsR regulator (codes for transcriptional regulator), arsB (codes for an arsenite efflux pump in the membrane), and arsC gene(codes for arsenate reductase)indicating an ability for arsenic resistance in this strain.(6)(7) Copper sensing genes copR and copS were found to be present in the genome in addition to gene cueR.(6) The presence of these three copper-resistance genes suggests that operon copAZ could also be present.(6)
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
