Popis: Rod-shaped cells, 0.5–1.0 µm in width and 1.0–1.5 µm in length. Motile by one polar flagellum. Endospores are not observed. Stain Gram-negative. Colonies are non-pigmented. Slightly thermophilic and slightly alkaliphilic. Strictly aerobic. Cytochrome c oxidase and catalase positive. Facultatively mixotrophic. Thiosulfate is oxidized to sulfate with the enhancement of growth. Organic acids, proline and glutamine are used as carbon and energy sources; sugars and polyols are not used for growth. Bacteriochlorophyll a and puf genes are not present. Major respiratory quinone is ubiquinone 10. Major polar lipids are phosphatidylcholine, phosphatidylethanolamine, diphosphatidylglycerol, phosphatidylglycerol and two unidentified aminolipids. Major fatty acids are straight chain saturated and unsaturated fatty acids including hydroxy derivatives. 16S rRNA gene sequence affiliates this genus to family Acetobacteraceae. Isolated from a hydrothermal area. DNA G+C content (mol %): 70.9 (HPLC). Type species: Elioraea tepidiphila Albuquerque, Rainey, Nobre and da Costa 2008, 776VP
