Aureispira is a Gram-negative and aerobic genus from the family of Saprospiraceae.[1][2][3][4] Aureispira gets its energy from a process called ixotrophy.[5] Using this process, Aurespira can acquire energy from other micro-organisms by attaching grappling hooks to the flagella of bacteria and reeling them in to puncture the bacteria's plasma membranes. This allows it to collect food for itself when there is not sufficient food sources avaliable in the environment.[6]
