In this study, seven potentially new species were successfully isolated from mangrove sediments and further diverged into three potentially new genera within the class . These isolates were obligate chemolithoautotrophs that could grow through hydrogen oxidation as well as sulfur oxidation, reduction, and disproportionation. Metabolic reconstructions revealed that these isolates contained diverse sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase and flavocytochrome c sulfide dehydrogenase for sulfide oxidation, distinct Sox gene cluster for sulfur oxidation, as well as group I, II, and IV hydrogenases for hydrogen consumption and production. Notably, these strains lacked the complete denitrification pathway, instead having all genes for nitrogen fixation, which might facilitate their survival in the nitrogen-limited mangrove sediments.

Metatranscriptomic analysis further confirmed their activity and different adaptation mechanisms in mangrove sediments.
