The transfer of Thiobacillus delicatus to the genus Thiomonas as a distinct species, Thiomonas delicata (type strain NBRC 14566T), is confirmed by its morphological and physiological properties, DNA-DNA hybridization and the grouping of its 16S rRNA gene sequence with those of other species of the genus. An emended formal description of Thiomonas delicata is given. The status of Thiomonas cuprina DSM 5495T as a member of the genus is reconsidered.
通过其形态和生理特性、DNA-DNA杂交以及其16S rRNA基因序列与该属其他物种序列的聚类分析，证实了将纤细硫杆菌（Thiobacillus delicatus）作为一个独特物种转移至硫单胞菌属（Thiomonas），即纤细硫单胞菌（Thiomonas delicata，模式菌株NBRC 14566T）。给出了纤细硫单胞菌的修正正式描述。重新考虑了铜绿硫单胞菌（Thiomonas cuprina）DSM 5495T作为该属成员的地位。
