Deferrisoma camini is a moderately thermophilic and anaerobic bacterium from the genus of "Deferrisoma" which has been isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent from the Eastern Lau Spreading Centre in the Pacific Ocean.
Taxonomy.
"Deferrisoma camini" is one of the two known species in the "Deferrisoma" genus.  They are rod-shaped, have a single motile polar flagellum, and are gram negative. It has been identified as a thermophilic, anaerobic, iron (III) reducing bacterium that can be found near deep-sea hydrothermal vents. "Deferrisoma camini" has an optimum temperature growth of 50°C with an optimum pH range of growth at a pH of 6.5. High temperature, mild pH level, iron-rich environments, mainly deep sea hydrothermal vents, favor "Deferrisoma camini."
Function and Structure.
The main function of "Deferrisoma camini" is to reduce iron (III) in its micro-community. "Deferrisoma camini" can be cultured in a bicarbonate-buffered sterile liquid medium. "Deferrisoma camini" can use acetate, fumarate, malate, maleinate, succinate, stearate, palmitate, propanol, peptone, and yeast extract as electron donors with elemental sulfur and iron (III) as the electron acceptors for the reduction process. The cell size for "Deferrisoma camini" is 0.5–0.6 μm in diameter and 0.8–1.3 μm long.
