Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Chromatiaceae / Thiocystis

Cells are rod shaped or ovoid to spherical, before cell division often diplococcus-shaped, motile by flagella, occurring singly or in pairs; may grow in irregular aggregates surrounded by slime, multiply by binary fission. Gram negative, belong to the Gammaproteobacteria, and contain internal photosynthetic membranes of vesicular type in which the photosynthetic pigments bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids are located.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 61.3–67.9.

Type species: Thiocystis violacea Winogradsky 1888, 65.
