| Proposed Taxon | Etymology | Description | Parent Taxon | Type | Registry URL |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Species Electrothrix laxa | [la'xa] L. fem. adj. laxa, large, referring to its relatively large cell diameter compared to other cable bacteria species | Filamentous bacteria of centimeter length that inhabit the surface of marine and coastal sediment and conduct electrons from sulfide-oxidizing cells to oxygen- or nitrate-reducing cells. Gliding motility. Gram-negative, with distinct ridges running longitudinally along the filament. Cell diameters 1-6 µm. Can assimilate acetate and propionate; CO2 fixation via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Contains c-type cytochromes and type IV pili (PilA). Polyphosphate and polyglucose storage. Distinguishable by morphology and genome.

| Species Electronema halotolerans | [ha.lo.to'le.rans] Gr. masc. n. hals, salt, brine; L. pres. part. tolerans, tolerating; N.L. part. adj. halotolerans, salt tolerant. Due to its presence in, and genomic adaptations to, brackish/saltwater. | Filamentous bacteria of centimeter length that inhabit the surface of brackish/intertidal sediment and conduct electrons from sulfide-oxidizing cells to oxygen-reducing cells. Gram-negative, width of individual cells is 1-2 µm. Can assimilate acetate but not propionate; CO2 fixation via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Contains c-type cytochromes, type IV pili (PilA) and Na+antiporters. Polyphosphate and polyglucose storage. Distinguishable by morphology and genome.
