Ectothiorhodospiraceae

The Ectothiorhodospiraceae are a family of purple sulfur bacteria, distinguished by producing sulfur globules outside of their cells.[2] The cells are rod-shaped, vibrioid, or spirilla, and they are able to move using flagella. In general, they are marine and prefer anaerobic conditions.[2] Like all purple sulfur bacteria, they are capable of photosynthesis.
