Abstract

Thi.o.dic' ty.on. Gr. n. thios sulfur; Gr. n. dictyon a net; M.L. neut. n. Thiodictyon sulfur net.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Chromatiaceae / Thiodictyon

Cells are rod shaped with rounded ends, sometimes appearing spindle-shaped, multiply by binary fission, nonmotile under all conditions, may form aggregates in which the cells are arranged end-to-end in an irregular netlike structure, the shape of which is variable. May also form clumps that are more compact or break up into individual cells. Contain large, irregularly shaped gas vesicles in the central part of the cell. Gram negative, belong to the Gammaproteobacteria, and contain internal photosynthetic membranes of vesicular type with bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids as photosynthetic pigments.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 65.3–66.3.

Type species: Thiodictyon elegans Winogradsky 1888x, 82.
