Comparative genomics of Thiohalobacter thiocyanaticus HRh1T and guyparkeriasp. SCN-R1, halophilic chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing gammaproteobacteria capable of using thiocyanate as energy source

The genomes of Thiohalobacter thiocyanaticus and Guyparkeria (formerly known as Halothiobacillus) sp. SCN-R1, two gammaproteobacterial halophilic sulfur-oxidizing bacteria (SOB) capable of thiocyanate oxidation via the "cyanate pathway", have been analyzed with a particular focus on their thiocyanate-oxidizing potential and sulfur oxidation...
