摘要：

The halotolerant, facultatively chemolithoautotrophic, gramnegative sulphur-oxidizing organism isolated from the gills of Thyasira flexuosa is shown to exhibit pleomorphism consistent with its being a member of the genus Thiomicrospira and not a Thiohacillus as originally classified. Its distinctive morphology, DNA base composition, and similarity of 16S rRNA sequences to that of Thiomicrospira sp. strain L-12 (which differs only in detail from the type species Thiomicrospira pelophila), lead us to reclassify this strain as Thiomicrospira thyasirae DSM5322.
