Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense sp. nov.,

bacterium from Yellowstone National Park, and emended descriptions of the

Supplementary Fig. 1. Effects of temperature (a), pH (b), NaCl concentration (c) and O2 concentration (d) on the growth of Sulfurihydrogenibium yellowstonense SS-5T. Growth curves at different temperatures were determined in mjTSO medium at pH 7.5. The effect of pH and NaCl on growth was determined in mjTSO medium containing various buffers and concentrations at 70 oC.
Supplementary Fig. 2. Sulfate production was measured during growth using HPLC with a Shim-pack IC column (Shimadzu). mjTSO medium lacking thiosulfate and all sulfate-containing salts was used. Growth curve (circles) and production of sulfate (squares) are shown. Numbers in parentheses indicate the pH of the medium measured with a compact pH meter (Horiba B-212).
