Abstract

The genus comprises four species with validly published names, of which DSM 4255 (=ATCC 43788) is the only species that can grow heterotrophically or mixotrophically – the rest being obligate autotrophs – and has a significant metabolic difference in not producing tetrathionate during the oxidation of thiosulfate during autotrophic growth. On the basis of this and differential chemotaxonomic properties and a 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 93.4 % to the type species DSM 505, we propose that it is moved to a novel genus, gen. nov., for which the type species is gen. nov., comb. nov. We confirm that the position of the genus in the falls within the rather than the as previously proposed. Within the we propose the circumscription of genera to form the fam. nov. and the fam. nov. We propose the merging of the family into the , and that the be merged into the , leaving the orders and defunct. In the we propose the fam. nov. and the fam. nov. We also reject the from the on the basis of a very low 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity with the class-proper as well as physiological properties, forming the class. nov. in the ‘’. We provide emended descriptions of , , , , , and the
