Proposed Taxon Etymology Description Parent Taxon Type Registry URL
Genus Magnetomonas [Mag.ne.to.mo'nas] Gr. masc. n. magnes, pertaining to a magnet; L. fem. n. monas, a unit, monad; N.L. fem. n. Magnetomonas, a magnetic monad
Vibrioid-shaped, cell size 2.0 ± 0.4 μm long and 0.5 ± 0.1 μm wide, form magnetite magnetosomes organized in chains along the long axis of the bacterial cell body. Magnetosomes present a mean length of 108 ± 21.1 nm and a mean width of 45 ± 8.1 nm. Potentially capable of chemolithoautotrophy with the oxidation of sulfur compounds and carbon assimilation by Wood–Ljungdahl pathway. Potentially capable of heterotrophy by glycolysis. Not capable of nitrogen fixation.
