Thi.o.pe' di.a. G. n. thios sulfur; Gr. n. pedium a plain, a flat area; M.L. fem. n. Thiopedia sulfur plain.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Chromatiaceae / Thiopedia

Cells spherical to ovoid, nonmotile, and multiply by binary fission. Rectangular platelets formed with 4, 8, 16, 32, or more regularly arranged cells (up to 128 or 256 cells may stick together). Gram negative, contain irregularly shaped gas vesicles in the central part of the cell and internal photosynthetic membranes of vesicular type with bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids as photosynthetic pigments.

The mol% G + C of the DNA is: 62.5–63.5.

Type species: Thiopedia rosea Winogradsky 1988, 85.
