Chlorobium limicola

Chlorobium limicola is a gram negative bacterial member of green sulfur bacteria genus found in freshwater hot springs. C. limicola is a non-motile mesophile, photoautotrophic / photosynthetic strict anaerobe important to carbon, nitrogen and sulfur cycles in anoxic freshwater environments.^[1] Strain DSMZ 245 T was isolated from Gilroy Hot Springs in California, and whole genome sequencing was accomplished.^[2] Believed to be morphologically diverse, it was determined that culturing techniques determine some characteristics like slime production and morphology.^[3][1] As a green sulfur bacteria, C. limicola fixes carbon via reverse TCA cycle reactions.^[1]
