(TU Delft BT/Environmental Biotechnology; Russian Academy of Sciences) Merkel, Alexander Y. (Russian Academy of Sciences) Contributor Whitman, William (editor) Date 2023 Abstract Thi.o.ha.lo.spir.a.ce’ae N.L. fem. n. Thiohalospira, the type genus of the family, -aceae ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Thiohalospiraceae, the Thiohalospira family.The family Thiohalospiraceae incorporates aerobic, chemolithoautotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from hypersaline habitats. They are moderate to extremely halophilic aerobes utilizing reduced sulfur compounds as the energy source and assimilating CO2 via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The family is amember of the order Thiohalospirales in the Gammaproteobacteria and consists of a single genus Thiohalospira. The family-level status was established by phylogenomic analysis based on the Genome Taxonomy DataBase classification.DNA G + C content (%): (65.6–69.1) (Tm and genome sequence of the type species). Type genus: Thiohalospira Sorokin et al. 2008VP.
