Rhodospirillum rubrum (Esmarch 1887) Molisch 1907 is the type species of the genus Rhodospirillum, which is the type genus of the family Rhodospirillaceae in the class Alphaproteobacteria. The species is of special interest because it is an anoxygenic phototroph that produces extracellular elemental sulfur (instead of oxygen) while harvesting light. It contains one of the most simple photosynthetic systems currently known, lacking light harvesting complex 2. Strain S1(T) can grow on carbon monoxide as sole energy source. With currently over 1,750 PubMed entries, R. rubrum is one of the most intensively studied microbial species, in particular for physiological and genetic studies. Next to R. centenum strain SW, the genome sequence of strain S1(T) is only the second genome of a member of the genus Rhodospirillum to be published, but the first type strain genome from the genus. The 4,352,825 bp long chromosome and 53,732 bp plasmid with a total of 3,850 protein-coding and 83 RNA genes were sequenced as part of the DOE Joint Genome Institute Program DOEM 2002.
深红红螺菌（埃斯马赫，1887年）莫利施，1907年，是红螺菌属的模式种，而红螺菌属是α-变形菌纲红螺菌科的模式属。该物种特别引人关注，因为它是一种产氧光合细菌，在收集光能时会产生细胞外元素硫（而非氧气）。它拥有目前已知的最简单的光合系统之一，缺少捕光复合物2。菌株S1(T)能够以一氧化碳作为唯一能源生长。凭借目前超过1750条在PubMed上的记录，深红红螺菌是研究最为深入的微生物物种之一，尤其是在生理和遗传学研究方面。除了百夫长红螺菌菌株SW外，菌株S1(T)的基因组序列是红螺菌属成员中第二个被公布的基因组，但却是该属的第一个模式菌株基因组。作为美国能源部联合基因组研究所项目DOEM 2002的一部分，对长度为4352825 bp的染色体和53732 bp的质粒进行了测序，总共发现了3850个蛋白质编码基因和83个RNA基因。
