 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 a
member 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.
