SulfolobusGrow in volcanic hot springs, with most growth occurring in temperatures between 75-80C, Sulfolobus cannot survive above pH 7 They oxidize sulfur as electron receptors. Sulfolobus range in a variety of shapes, but most have flagella and are motile.
interesting fact: Sulfolobus are asexual, meaning that the offspring of the organism will be exact copies, some more thought of as clones than offspring. |
