Name: Desulfolithobacter dissulfuricans
a rod-shaped lithotrophic sulfate-reducer disproportionating sulfurStrain: GF1
named after Gachinko Fight cruise episode 1Isolation source: Deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at the Suiyo Seamount (YK19-10)
Taxonomy: a novel genus and species within the family Desulfobulbaceae
Significance: Proteomic analysis revealed that several proteins were uniquely and abundantly present in sulfur-disproportionating cells. These results suggested the unrecognized pathway of sulfur disproportionation in the isolate.
