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.
Haloferax sulfurifontis has been sequenced and the genetic information reduced to 36 contigs comprised of 3813939 base pairs [2]. All 36 contigs can be found here: H.sulfurifontis contigs
