Abstract

Hydrogenophilaceae, a family within the order Hydrogenophilales, comprises the genera Thiobacillus, Hydrogenophilus, Petrobacter, Tepidiphilus, and Sulfuricella. Members of the family are all Gram negative, rod shaped, and non-sporulating; the reported biochemical characteristics of individual species are highly variable concerning various morphological and chemotaxonomic properties. Most members of the family are chemolithotrophic or mixotrophic using various inorganic electron donors such as reduced sulfuric compounds or hydrogen. Members of the family are either mesophilic or moderately thermophilic and have been isolated from various environments, e.g., freshwater, aerobic digesters on water treatment sludge, and hot springs. No strains have been reported as pathogens.
