Etymology
L. n. <i>ferrum</i>, iron; Gr. adj. <i>oxus</i>, acid or sour and in combined words indicating oxygen; N.L. v. <i>oxydare</i>, to make acid, to oxidize; N.L. part. adj. <i>ferrooxydans</i>, iron-oxidizing.
Ecology
Source
isolated from iron-rich microbial mats associated with regions of hydrothermal venting at Loihi Seamount in the Pacific Ocean.
Morphology
Cells are motile curved rods (0.5 × 2-5 µm). Filamentous stalk-like structures of iron oxyhydroxides are formed during cell growth.
