Abstract

De.thi’o.bac.ter.a.ce.a.e. N.L. masc. n. Dethiobacter, the type genus of the family; L. fem. pl. n. suff. -aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Dethiobacteraceae, the family of the genus Dethiobacter.
The family Dethiobacteraceae includes obligately anaerobic, moderately salt-tolerant, and obligately alkaliphilic bacteria able to grow chemolithoautotrophically by elemental sulfur disproportionation and fixing
CO2 by the Wood–Ljungdahl pathway. The two strains currently known in pure culture are both isolated from saline soda lakes. H2 can serve as an additional
electron donor for sulfur and thiosulfate reduction. The family consists of a single genus Dethiobacter with the type species Dethiobacter alkaliphilus. DNA G +C content (%): 48.3–48.5 (genomes of two isolates). Type genus: Dethiobacter Sorokin et al. 2008, VL123.
