Abstract
Thi.o.ha.lo.rhab.da.ce’ae N.L. fem. n. Thiohalorhabdus, the type genus of the family; L. fem. pl. n. suff.-aceae, ending to denote a family; N.L. fem. pl. n. Thiohalorhabdaceae, the Thiohalorhabdus family.
The family Thiohalorhabdaceae incorporates facultatively anaerobic, chemolithoautotrophic, sulfur-oxidizing bacteria from hypersaline habitats. They are extreme halophiles utilizing reduced sulfur compounds as energy sources with either O2 or nitrate as the electron acceptor and assimilating CO2 via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The family is a member of the order Thiohalorhabdales in the Gammaproteobacteria, and it consists of a single genus Thiohalorhabdus. The family-level status was established by phylogenomic analysis based on the Genome Taxonomy DataBase classification. DNA G +C content (%): 68.9 (genome of the type strain). Type genus: Thiohalorhabdus Sorokin et al. 2008VP.
