Ec' to.thi' o.rho' do.spi' ra . Gr. prep. ectos outside; Gr. n. thios sulfur; Gr. n. rhodon the rose; Gr. n. spira the spiral; M.L. fem. n. Ectothiorhodospira spiral rose with sulfur outside. Proteobacteria / Gammaproteobacteria / Chromatiales / Ectothiorhodospiraceae / Ectothiorhodospira Cells rod‐shaped or vibrioid, also appearing as true spirals, 0.7–1.5 µm in diameter, motile by a polar tuft of flagella , multiply by binary fission, and may contain gas vesicles. Gram‐negative and belong to the Gammaproteobacteria . Internal photosynthetic membranes are lamellar stacks that are continuous with the cytoplasmic membrane. Photosynthetic pigments are bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids. The mol % G + C of the DNA is : 61.4–68.4. Type species : Ectothiorhodospira mobilis Pelsh 1936, 120.
