Phylogenetic relationships among the Chromatiaceae, their taxonomic reclassification and description of the new genera Allochromatium, Halochromatium, Isochromatium, Marichromatium, Thiococcus, Thiohalocapsa and Thermochromatium [PDF]
International Journal of Systematic Bacteriology, 1998 Sequences of the 16S rDNA from all available type strains of Chromatium species have been determined and were compared to those of other Chromatiaceae, a few selected Ectothiorhodospiraceae and Escherichia coli. The clear separation of Ectothiorhodospiraceae and Chromatiaceae is confirmed.

Alcaligenaceae and Chromatiaceae as pollution bacterial bioindicators in palm oil mill effluent (POME) final discharge polluted rivers [PDF]
Ecological Indicators, 2020 Abstract Microorganisms are progressively adopted as reliable and specific bioindicators of pollution, with Alcaligenaceae and Chromatiaceae being recently proposed to indicate contamination in river water due to palm oil mill effluent (POME) final discharge.

Continuous chemotrophic growth and respiration of Chromatiaceae species at low oxygen concentrations [PDF]
Archives of Microbiology, 1992 Endogenous and maximum respiration rates of nine purple sulfur bacterial strains were determined. Endogenous rates were below 10 nmol O2 · (mg protein · min)-1 for sulfur-free cells and 15–35 nmol O2 · (mg protein · min)-1 for cells containg intracellular sulfur globules.
