Thioalkalivibrio sp. HL-Eb18. Thioalkalivibrio sp. HL-Eb18

Genome sequencing of haloalkaliphilic and chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) from the genus Thioalkalivibrio. These bacteria, isolated from soda lakes, can thrive at pH 10 and salt concentrations up to 4 M sodium and 3 M potassium. The haloalkaliphilic SOB use reduced sulfur compounds as an energy source and CO2 as a carbon source, so they play an important role in the sulfur and carbon cycles. They are used in remediation of sulfur pollution, such as toxic H2S, from wastewater, spent caustics, flue gas, natural gas, and biogas.

本数据集针对来自硫碱弧菌属（Thioalkalivibrio）的嗜盐嗜碱化能自养硫氧化细菌（sulfur-oxidizing bacteria, SOB）开展了基因组测序研究。此类细菌分离自苏打湖，可在pH值为10、钠离子浓度高达4 mol/L、钾离子浓度高达3 mol/L的高盐强碱环境中存活繁殖。该类嗜盐嗜碱硫氧化细菌以还原态硫化合物作为能量来源，以二氧化碳作为碳源，因此在硫循环与碳循环中发挥着关键作用。它们可被用于修复废水、废碱液、烟气、天然气及沼气中的有毒硫化氢（H₂S）等硫污染问题。
