Sulfurovum lithotrophicum is a species of bacteria, the type species of its genus. It is a sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph within the ε-Proteobacteria isolated from Okinawa Trough hydrothermal sediments. It is mesophilic and also oxidises thiosulfate. It is a gram-negative, non-motile and coccoid to oval-shaped bacterium. The type strain is 42BKTT (=ATCC BAA-797T =JCM 12117T).{{cite journal|last1=Inagaki|first1=F.|title=Sulfurovum lithotrophicum gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel sulfur-oxidizing chemolithoautotroph within the -Proteobacteria isolated from Okinawa Trough hydrothermal sediments|journal=International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology|volume=54|issue=5|year=2004|pages=1477–1482|issn=1466-5026|doi=10.1099/ijs.0.03042-0|pmid=15388698|doi-access=free}}
