Opabinia regalis: if we have articles on the species, we should have a stub for the genus...
'''''Sulfobacillus''''' is a [[genus (biology)|genus]] of [[bacteria]] containing five named [[species (biology)|species]]. Members of the genus are [[Gram-positive]], [[acidophilic]], [[sporulation|spore-forming]] bacteria that are moderately [[thermophilic]] or thermotolerant. All species are [[facultative anaerobes]] capable of [[oxidizing]] [[sulfur]]-containing compounds; they differ in optimal growth temperature and metabolic capacity, particularly in their ability to grow on various [[organic compound|organic carbon compounds]].<ref name="justice_2014">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="guo_2014">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="zhang_2017">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="dopson_2016">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
==Taxonomy==
''Sulfobacillus'' was first described in 1978, along with the [[type species]], ''[[Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans]]''.<ref name="golovacheva_1978">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref><ref name="lpsn"></ref> Four additional species have since been described, in at least one case discovered after samples believed to be ''S. thermosulfidooxidans'' showed unexpected characteristics.<ref name="norris_1996">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref>
The genus is of uncertain taxonomic position. It was originally placed in the [[Clostridiales]]. It is likely related to the genus ''[[Thermaerobacter]]'' and may represent either a deep branch of the ''[[Firmicutes]]'' or a separate [[phylum]].<ref name=guo_2014 /><ref name=lpsn />
===Species===
Five named species are recognized members of the genus:<ref name=lpsn />
* ''[[Sulfobacillus acidophilus]]''
* ''[[Sulfobacillus benefaciens]]''
* ''[[Sulfobacillus disulfidooxidans]]''
* ''[[Sulfobacillus sibiricus]]''
* ''[[Sulfobacillus thermosulfidooxidans]]'' ([[type species]])
==Ecology==
''Sulfobacillus'' species are found globally in both natural and artificial [[acidic]] environments, such as [[hot spring]]s, [[solfatara]] environments, [[hydrothermal vent]]s, and in various forms of [[acid mine drainage]]. Compared to other bacterial species found in similar acidic environments, ''Sulfobacillus'' species are often present at relatively low abundance.<ref name=justice_2014 />
==Genome==
The [[genome]]s of several ''Sulfobacillus'' species have been [[DNA sequencing|sequenced]].<ref name=justice_2014 /><ref name=guo_2014 /><ref name=zhang_2017 /> Differences between members include genome size and gene content related to sulfur oxidation pathways.<ref name=justice_2014 />
