Brockia lithotrophica

Brockia lithotrophica is a thermophilic bacterium from the genus of Brockia which has been isolated from a sediment-water mixture from a hot spring in Uzon Caldera in Russia.[1][3][4][5] This bacterium is rod shaped, spore-forming and obligate anaerobe. It is lithoautotroph and grows on a mineral medium with molecular sulfur, thiosulfate or polysulfide; it has optimal growth temperature in the range of 60-65 °C for pH 6.5, but it is able to grow between 46°C and 78 °C and pH ranging from 5.5 to 8.5.[6]
