Dissulfuribacter thermophilus is a thermophilic, autotrophic, sulfur-disproportionating bacterium with Gram-negative staining, short rod shape, and a single flagellum. The species is notable for its ability to disproportionate elemental sulfur at high temperatures combined with the inability to perform dissimilatory sulfate reduction.[1] The type strain of this species, Dissulfuribacter thermophilus S69T, was isolated from an active deep-sea hydrothermal vent.[2]
