Novel isolates of hydrogen-oxidizing chemolithoautotrophic Sulfurospirillum provide insight to the functions and adaptation mechanisms of Campylobacteria in shallow-water hydrothermal vents.

ABSTRACT: Enhancing the availability of representative isolates from hydrothermal vents (HTVs) is imperative for comprehending the microbial processes that propel the vent ecosystem. In recent years, Campylobacteria have emerged as the predominant and ubiquitous taxon across both shallow and deep-sea vent systems. Nevertheless, only a few isolates have been cultured, primarily originating from deep-sea HTVs. Presently, no cultivable isolates of Campylobacteria are accessible in shallow water vent systems (<200 m), which exhibit markedly distinct environmental conditions from their deep-sea counterparts. In this study, we enriched a novel isolate (genus Sulfurospirillum, Campylobacteria) from shallow-water HTVs of Kueishan Island. Genomic and physiological analysis revealed that this novel Cam
