Thioflavicoccus
''Thioflavicoccus'' is a Gram-negative, obligately phototrophic, strictly Anaerobic organism, anaerobic and motile genus of bacteria from the family of Chromatiaceae with one known species (''Thioflavicoccus mobilis''). ''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.Imhoff, J. F., & Pfennig, N. (2001). Thioflavicoccus mobilis gen. nov., sp. nov., a novel purple sulfur bacterium with bacteriochlorophyll b. International Journal of Systematic and Evolutionary Microbiology, 51(1), 105–110. doi: 10.1099/00207713-51-1-105 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. When ''T. mobilis'' was first analyzed, it was misidentified as ''Thio ...
