Chromatiaceae
The Chromatiaceae are one of the two families of purple sulfur bacteria, together with the Ectothiorhodospiraceae. They belong to the order Chromatiales of the class Gammaproteobacteria, which is composed by unicellular Gram-negative organisms. Most of the species are photolithoautotrophs and conduct an anoxygenic photosynthesis, but there are also representatives capable of growing under dark and/or microaerobic conditions as either chemolithoautotrophs or chemoorganoheterotrophs. Both Ectothiorhodospiraceae and Chromatiaceae bacteria produce elemental sulfur globules, the difference is that in the second case they are stored inside the cells rather than outside. Sulfur is an intermediate in the oxidization of sulfide, which is ultimately converted into sulfate, and may serve as a reserve. History of classification Although purple sulfur bacteria have been known for some time, the difficulty in cultivating these microorganisms in the laboratory has made that few scientific ...

Marichromatium
''Marichromatium'' is a genus in the phylum Pseudomonadota (Bacteria). The name ''Marichromatium'' derives from: Latin ''mare'', the sea; New Latin ''Chromatium'', a genus name; to give ''Marichromatium'', the ''Chromatium'' of the sea, the truly marine ''Chromatium''. Species The genus contains five species (including basonyms and synonyms), namely: * '' M. bheemlicum'' (Anil Kumar ''et al''. 2007, New Latin ''bheemlicum'', pertaining to Bheemli, the place from which the type strain was isolated) * '' M. fluminis'' (Sucharita ''et al''. 2010, Latin n ''fluminis'', of a river, referring to the isolation of the type strain from sediment of the Baitarani River, located in Kalibanj Forest, Orissa, India) * '' M. gracile'' (Strzeszewski 1913) Imhoff ''et al''. 1998, (type species of the genus), Latin ''gracile'', thin, slender) * '' M. indicum'' (Arunasri ''et al''. 2005, Latin ''indicum'', Indian, pertaining to India, the country in which the type strain was isolated) * '' M. purp ...

Thioflavicoccus
''Thioflavicoccus'' is a Gram-negative, obligately phototrophic, strictly anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species ('' Thioflavicoccus mobilis''). ''Thioflavicoccus mobilis'' was first discovered during a 1986 "Microbial Diversity" summer course. The microbe was isolated from a flat, laminated microbial mat in a salt marsh and was determined to be a marine bacterium.Imhoff, J. F., & Pfennig, N. (2001). Thioflavicoccus mobilis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel purple sulfur bacterium with bacteriochlorophyll b. International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 51(1), 105–110. doi: 10.1099/00207713-51-1-105 The culture was collected from the Great Sippewisset Salt Marsh in Woods Hole, Massachusetts; it was found to be the first purple sulfur bacteria that contained bacteriochlorophyll ''b'' as the main photosynthetic pigment.
