Sulfurospirillum sp. 1307
This study focuses on the microbe Sulfurospirillum sp.1307 isolated from shallow-sea hydrothermal vents, with two key goals: first, to investigate its adaptation mechanisms to extreme conditions (high pressure, high temperature, high sulfur) by analyzing unique traits like specialized cell membrane structures and enzyme systems; second, to clarify its ecological roles in hydrothermal vent ecosystems, including symbiotic/competitive relationships with other organisms and impacts on overall ecosystem stability. The research is highly relevant: it not only helps unravel fundamental mysteries of how life survives in extreme environments (enriching extremophile biology theory) but also provides insights for protecting fragile hydrothermal vent ecosystems and exploring potential biotechnological applications of extremophile-derived enzymes (e.g., in high-temperature industrial processes).
