Sulfurospirillum (/ˌsʌlfɜːroʊspɪˈrɪlʌm/ SULF-ur-oh-spə-RIHL-um) is a genus of the gram-negative, aerotolerant, rod-shaped bacteria in the family Campylobactaeraceae.[2]

Details

[edit]

Many species are microaerophillic, and are thus found in soil, groundwater, the deep sea, marine surface sediments, tube worm guts, and polluted environments.[21] Many species can grow on toxic compounds such as arsenate and selenate, and in fact flourish in contaminated sites.[21] The Sulfurospirillum genus contains the only species on the planet that can respire organohalides.[21] No species in the Sulfurospirillum genus have been found to be pathogenic thus far.
