Lamprocystis needs disambiguation - it takes you to the molluscan genus of the same name.

Weird fysiology
I find the fysiology a bit weird. Although the genus chromatium may well exclusively be phototrophs, I (and many with me) would be surprised if the nitrifier Nitrosoccus would be. Can someone verify what Bergey's really says on this? L.tak (talk) 17:55, 23 May 2012 (UTC)
 * Hi, it seems you are right, Nitrosoccus isn´t phototroph. Just my fault, I´m sorry about this. Bergey says about Nitrococcus:

''Cells are spherical to ellipsoidal (Fig. BXII.c.10A). Typical Gram-negative cell wall, but some strains have additional layers composed of repeating subunits arranged in a molecular array (Watson and Remsen, 1969, 1970). Extensive intracytoplasmic membrane systems arranged centrally in the protoplasm (Fig.BXII.c.10B). Carboxysomes not observed. Obligate salt requirement. Urea can be used as ammonia source by one of the two described species. Motile cells possess a tuft of ﬂagella or a single ﬂagellum. Species are distributed in oceans and in salt lakes.''

Nothing about phototroph. I also have nothing found about phototroph and Nitrosococcus by using google. First I have added the words "many" and "most" members. Of cause, it would be great if you would add some more details. I´m not realy an expert in microbiology... — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dodshe (talk • contribs) 09:58, 24 May 2012 (UTC)
