Thioflavicoccus is a Gram-negative, obligately phototrophic, strictly anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species (Thioflavicoccus mobilis).[1][2][3][4][5][6]
Thioflavicoccus mobilis was first discovered during a 1986 "Microbial Diversity" summer course. The microbe was isolated from a flat, laminated microbial mat in a salt marsh and was determined to be a marine bacterium.[7]
The culture was collected from the Great Sippewisset Salt Marsh in Woods Hole, Massachusetts; it was found to be the first purple sulfur bacteria that contained bacteriochlorophyll b as the main photosynthetic pigment.[7] When T. mobilis was first analyzed, it was misidentified as Thiocapsa pfennigii due to its similarities in morphology and structure, but this was later disproved with 16S rDNA sequencing.[7]
