The class Zetaproteobacteria is the sixth and most recently described class of the Pseudomonadota .[ 1] Zetaproteobacteria can also refer to the group of organisms assigned to this class. The Zetaproteobacteria were originally represented by a single described species, Mariprofundus ferrooxydans ,[ 2] which is an iron-oxidizing neutrophilic chemolithoautotroph originally isolated from Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount (formerly Loihi) in 1996 (post-eruption).[ 1] [ 3] Molecular cloning techniques focusing on the small subunit ribosomal RNA gene have also been used to identify a more diverse majority of the Zetaproteobacteria that have as yet been unculturable.[ 4]
Regardless of culturing status, the Zetaproteobacteria show up worldwide in estuarine and marine habitats associated with opposing steep redox gradients of reduced (ferrous ) iron and oxygen, either as a minor detectable component or as the dominant member of the microbial community.[ 5] [ 6] [ 7] [ 8] [ 9] [ 10] Zetaproteobacteria have been most commonly found at deep-sea hydrothermal vents ,[ 4] though recent discovery of members of this class in near-shore environments has led to the reevaluation of Zetaproteobacteria distribution and significance.[ 11] [ 12] [ 13]
Microbial mats encrusted with iron oxide on the flank of Kamaʻehuakanaloa Seamount, Hawaii. Microbial communities in this type of habitat can harbor microbial communities dominated by the iron-oxidizing Zetaproteobacteria.
