Thiomicrospira aerophila (basonynm: Thioalkalimicrobium aerophilum) is an obligately alkaliphilic and obligately chemolithoautotrophic sulfur-oxidizing bacterium that was previously the type species of Thioalkalimicrobium prior to reclassification in 2017.[1] It was first isolated from soda lakes in northern Russia.[2]
