Rho.do.vi' bri.o. Gr. n. rhodon the rose; M.L. masc. n. Vibrio a bacterial genus; M.L. masc. n. Rhodovibrio the rose Vibrio.

Proteobacteria / Alphaproteobacteria / Rhodospirillales / Rhodospirillaceae / Rhodovibrio

Cells are vibrioid to spiral shaped, motile by means of polar flagella and multiply by binary fission. Gram negative, belonging to the Alphaproteobacteria . Internal photosynthetic membranes are present as vesicles. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. Ubiquinones and menaquinones with 10 isoprene units (Q-10 and MK-10) are present. Major cellular fatty acids are C 18:1 and C18:0 .

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 66–67.

Type species: Rhodovibrio salinarum (Nissen and Dundas 1985) Imhoff, Petri and Süling 1998, 797 (Rhodospirillum salinarum Nissen and Dundas 1985, 224.)
