Phylogenetic analysis placed the organism in the genus\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eArcobacter\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            in the epsilon subdivision of the\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eProteobacteria\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            . This motile vibrioid organism can be considered difficult to grow, preferring to grow under microaerophilic conditions in flowing systems in which a sulfide-oxygen gradient has been established. Purified cell cultures were maintained by using this approach. Essentially all 4′,6-diamidino-2-phenylindole dihydrochloride-stained cells in a flowing reactor system hybridized with\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eArcobacter\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            -specific probes as well as with a probe specific for the sequence obtained from reactor-grown cells. The proposed provisional name for the coastal isolate is “\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            Arcobacter sulfidicus.” For cells cultured in a flowing reactor system, the sulfide optimum was higher than and the CO\n            \u003cjats:sub\u003e2\u003c/jats:sub\u003e\n            fixation activity was as high as or higher than those reported for other sulfur oxidizers, such as\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eThiomicrospira\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            spp. Cells associated with filamentous sulfur material demonstrated nitrogen fixation capability. No ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase could be detected on the basis of radioisotopic activity or by Western blotting techniques, suggesting an alternative pathway of CO\n            \u003cjats:sub\u003e2\u003c/jats:sub\u003e\n            fixation. The process of microbial filamentous sulfur formation has been documented in a number of marine environments where both sulfide and oxygen are available. Filamentous sulfur formation by “\n            \u003cjats:italic\u003eCandidatus\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n            Arcobacter sulfidicus” or similar strains may be an ecologically important process, contributing significantly to primary production in such environments.\n          \u003c/jats:p\u003e","long_citation_html":"Wirsen et al.
