Thioreductor is a Gram-negative, mesophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing, sulfur-reducing and motile genus of bacteria from the family of unclassified Epsilonproteobacteria with one known species (Thioreductor micantisoli).[2][1][3][4] Thioreductor micantisoli has been isolated from hydrothermal sediments from the Iheya North from the Mid-Okinawa Trough in Japan.[4][5]
