A flexing and gliding green sulfur bacterium was isolated from marine sources off the North East coast of the USA. CHLOROHERPETON thalassium is an obligate phototroph and requires CO2 and S2- for growth. Some organic acids can contribute to cell C and N2 may be fixed. The cells contain typical chlorosomes and gas vesicles may be present. Bacteriochlorophyll c is the main light harvesting pigment and a small quantity of bacteriochlorophyll a is also present. Over 80% of the carotenoid is .gamma.-carotene. DNA base composition of the isolates ranges from 45.0-48.2 mol% G + C.
