Details
Many species are microaerophillic, and are thus found in soil, groundwater, the deep sea, marine surface sediments, tube worm guts, and polluted environments.[21] Many species can grow on toxic compounds such as arsenate and selenate, and in fact flourish in contaminated sites.[21] Some species can respire organohalides.[21] No species in the Sulfurospirillum genus have been found to be pathogenic thus far.
