Metabolic redundancy and specialisation of novel sulfide-oxidizing Sulfurimonas and Sulfurovum along the brine-seawater interface of the Kebrit Deep by Rayyan Alamoudi, Alan Barozzi, Grégoire Michoud, Marc W. Van Goethem, Charlene Odobel, Yue Chen, Ramona Marasco, Daniele Daffonchio

“…In addition to the osmoprotectant pathways commonly observed in Campylobacterota, such as the synthesis and uptake of proline and glutamate, the two Kebrit Deep Sulfurovum species exhibit genomic signatures for ectoine synthesis, further aiding their adaptation to high salinity. This combination of metabolic redundancy and specialisation within the confined spatial boundaries (~1 m) of the BSI is pivotal in governing microbial interactions, including those with sulfate-reducers, heterotrophs, and other primary producers. …”
