👉 Sulfophobococcus is a bacterium that primarily lives in marine environments, particularly in the Gulf of Mexico and the Pacific Ocean. It's characterized by its ability to grow on sulfuric acid, which it uses for photosynthesis. This bacterium is also known for producing sulfur dioxide as a byproduct of its metabolism. Sulfophobococcus plays an important role in the carbon cycle and serves as a food source for certain species of marine animals.
