H. sulfurifontis was originally found in a spring in microbial mats and mineral crusts near the sulfide and sulfur rich Zodletone spring, southwestern Oklahoma [1]. It showed 96-98% similarity with others in the Haloferax genus. The Haloferax genus consists of six creditably published species and is characterized by a low obligatory salt-content as compared to other Halobacteria, although it is best suited to a salt content of 25% or above [2].
A phylogenetic tree showing the relationships within the Haloferax genus and other similar genera.
Haloferax sulfurifontis has been sequenced and the genetic information reduced to 36 contigs comprised of 3813939 base pairs [3]. All 36 contigs can be found here: H.sulfurifontis contigs
