Description
Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a family of bacteria found in the Gammaproteobacteria class. Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a vibrio bacteria that require salty living conditions to survive and grow: classifying them as slightly halophilic. They test positive for mobility using lophotrichous flagellum. Ectothiorhodospiraceae are photoautotrophs that contain lamellar sacks in the membrane. Sulfur compounds are used as electron donors for carbon fixation in the pentose phosphate pathway. This elemental sulfur accumulates outside of the cells. Note: + = positive, - = negative
