Abstract

Thi.o.ha.lo.rhab’dus. Gr. neut. n. thion sulfur; Gr. masc. n. hals, halos salt of the sea; Gr. fem. n. rhabdos rod, stick; N.L. fem. n. Thiohalorhabdus halophilic sulfur rod.
The genus Thiohalorhabdus was originally classified as a deep unaffiliated lineage within the Gammaproteobacteria. It is an extremely halophilic, neutrophilic
chemolithoautotroph using reduced sulfur compounds as the energy source and electron donor and O2 or nitrate as the electron acceptor. CO2 is assimilated
via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The genus includes a single species Thiohalorhabdus denitrificans, which is the type species. Habitat—hypersaline
lakes and solar salterns. DNA G +C content (mol%): 68.9 (genome of type strain). Type species: Thiohalorhabdus denitrificans Sorokin et al. 2008aVP
