Abstract

The phylogeny of based on 16S rRNA sequences was determined. This species is the first species in this genus that has been shown to be capable of autotrophic growth with reduced sulfur compounds as sole energy sources. forms a monophyletic clade with , as determined by distance, parsimony, and maximum-likelihood methods. Both of these species clearly belong to the gamma subdivision of the , where they are loosely associated with other sulfur-oxidizing chemoautotrophic organisms.
