Reclassifications
As a result of 16S ribosomal RNA sequence analysis, many members of Thiobacillus have been reassigned.[1]
- Thiobacillus versutus to Paracoccus
- Thiobacillus acidophilus to Acidiphilium
- Thiobacillus intermedius, Thiobacillus perometabolis, Thiobacillus thermosulfatus, and Thiobacilus cuprinus to Thiomonas
- Thiobacillus thiooxidans, Thiobacillus ferrooxidans, Thiobacillus caldus, and Thiobacillus albertensis to Acidithiobacillus
- Thiobacillus neapolitanus, Thiobacillus halophilus, and Thiobacillus hydrothermalis to Halothiobacillus
- Thiobacillus tepidarius to Thermithiobacillus[1]
