Thiohalobacter family. The family Thiohalobacteraceae consists of aerobic, chemolithoautotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from hypersaline salt lakes. They are moderately halophilic aerobic, bacteria 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 Thiohalobacterales within the Gammaproteobacteria and consists of a single genus Thiohalobacter. The family-level status was established by phylogenomic analysis based on the Genome Taxonomy DataBase classification. DNA G + C content (%): 64.2 (genome sequence). Type genus: Thiohalobacter Sorokin et al. 2010VP.
