ECTOTHIORHODOSINUS MONGOLICUS
| Class: | Gamma Proteobacteria |
| Genus: | Ectothiorhodosinus |
| Species: | Ectothiorhodosinus mongolicus |
| Description: | The cells are nonmotile, vibrio-shaped, semicircular, or toroid. The cell size is 0.3–0.5 × 0.7–1 µm. Cell division occurs by means of a nonuniformly ingrowing cellular septum. The color of the cell suspension is pink to brownish red. Cells contain bacteriochlorophyll a and carotenoids of the spirilloxanthin series. The internal photosynthetic membranes have the form of concentric lamellae lining the cell wall. In some of the cells, no lamellae or any other intracytoplasmic membranes can be revealed. |
