Strain MMS-1\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e is an obligate microaerophile capable of chemoorganoheterotrophic and chemolithoautotrophic growth. Optimal growth occurred at pH 7.0 and 24–26 °C. Chemolithoautotrophic growth occurred with thiosulfate as the electron donor and autotrophic carbon fixation was via the Calvin–Benson–Bassham cycle. The G+C content of the DNA of strain MMS-1\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e was 47.2 mol%. Cells were Gram-negative and morphologically variable, with shapes that ranged from that of a lima bean to fully helical. Cells were motile by means of a single flagellum at each end of the cell (amphitrichous). Regardless of whether grown in liquid or semi-solid cultures, strain MMS-1\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e displayed only polar magnetotaxis and possessed a single chain of magnetosomes containing elongated octahedral crystals of magnetite, positioned along the long axis of the cell. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain MMS-1\u003cjats:sup\u003eT\u003c/jats:sup\u003e belongs to the family \u003cjats:named-content xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" content-type=\"family\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                     \u003cjats:ext-link ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.811\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                        \u003cjats:italic\u003eRhodospirillaceae\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                     \u003c/jats:ext-link\u003e\n                  \u003c/jats:named-content\u003e within the \u003cjats:named-content xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" content-type=\"class\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                     \u003cjats:ext-link ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.809\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                        \u003cjats:italic\u003eAlphaproteobacteria\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                     \u003c/jats:ext-link\u003e\n                  \u003c/jats:named-content\u003e, and is distantly related to species of the genus \u003cjats:named-content xmlns:xlink=\"http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink\" content-type=\"genus\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                     \u003cjats:ext-link ext-link-type=\"uri\" xlink:href=\"http://dx.doi.org/10.1601/nm.832\" xlink:type=\"simple\"\u003e\n                        \u003cjats:italic\u003eMagnetospirillum\u003c/jats:italic\u003e\n                     \u003c/jats:ext-link\u003e\n                  \u003c/jats:named-content\u003e.
