  1. family thiobacteriaceae

    Thiobacteriaceae is a family of bacteria within the order Thiotrichales, class Gammaproteobacteria. The bacteria in this family are chemolithoautotrophic, meaning they get their energy from inorganic substances, and most are sulfur bacteria - organisms that use sulfur compounds, typically as electron donors, in their metabolism. The family includes genera such as Thiobacillus and others. They play an important role in biological sulfur and nitrogen cycles in nature. Important features distinguishing them can include sulfur oxidation and nitrogen reduction. They are ubiquitous in sulfide and sulfur-rich environments such as sulfur springs, sulfur-rich soils, and marine sediments.
