Abstract

Thi' o.rho.do.co' ccus. Gr. n. thios sulfur; Gr. n. rhodon the rose; L. n. coccus sphere; M.L. masc. n. Thiorhodococcus rose sphere with sulfur.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Chromatiaceae / Thiorhodococcus

Cells spherical to slightly ovoid, diplococcus-shaped before cell division, motile by flagella. Cells single or in pairs but may form irregular aggregates, multiply by binary fission. 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: 66.8–67.0.

Type species: Thiorhodococcus minor Guyoneaud, Matheron, Liesack, Imhoff and Caumette 1998a, 328 (Effective publication: Guyoneaud, Matheron, Liesack, Imhoff and Caumette 1997, 22.)
