Abstract

Thi' o.spi.ril' lum. Gr. n. thios sulfur; M.L. dim. neut. n. Spirillum a bacterial genus; M.L. neut. n. Thiospirillum sulfur Spirillum.

Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Chromatiaceae / Thiospirillum

Cells curved rods or spirals (sigmoid), dividing by binary fission, motile by (multitrichous) polar flagella. Cells may be immobile and grow in irregular aggregates surrounded by slime. 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: 45.5.

Type species: Thiospirillum jenense (Ehrenberg 1838) Migula 1900, 1050 (Ophidomonas jenensis Ehrenberg 1838, 44.)
