Abstract:
Halophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria belonging to the genus Guyparkeria occur at both marine and terrestrial habitats. Common physiological characteristics displayed by Guyparkeria 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 Guyparkeria, nine genomes were compared to reveal the metabolic capabilities and adaptations. A detailed account is given on Guyparkeria's ability to assimilate carbon by fixation, to oxidize reduced sulfur, to oxidize thiocyanate, and to cope with salinity stress.
