Iodidimonas is a genus of bacteria that oxidizes iodide (I−) to iodine (I2). It was isolated from iodide-rich brine associated with natural gas in Kujukuri, Japan. [1] [3]
Esposti et al. thus hypothesized that Iodidimonas species may be a descendant of the ancestral bacteria that originated protomitochondria.
