🙄 This taxon name is occasionally misprinted (or affected by an OCR error) in some sources as: "Thiomicmspira"; "Thiornicrospira"; "Thjomicrospira"; "Tliiomicrospira".

🧍 Pittman et al. (1991) suggested the abbreviation "THMS" for this genus name but this does not appear to be of practical relevance any longer.Publication:

🧍 Thiomicrospira chilensis Brinkhoff et al. 1999 and Thiomicrospira frisia Brinkhoff et al. 1999 are two proposed Thiomicrospira species that have a rod-shaped morphology. For taxonomists who also intend to assign these species to Thiomicrospira, differentiation of Thiomicrospira from Thiobacillus on the basis of morphology is not possible.Publication:
