It closely resembled Ectothiorhodospira shaposhnikovii in its ultrastructure, GC content, photosynthetic pigments, flagella position and mode of sulphur deposition, but differed in exhibiting more extreme alkalophily, the pH optimum being 9·0 to 9·5, and in being obligately phototrophic., UL https://www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/journal/micro/10.1099/00221287-110-1-137
