"Candidatus Thiolava", represented by its sole species "Candidatus Thiolava veneris" (meaning Venus's hair), is a genus of bacteria discovered growing in stringlike mats after an eruption of the submarine volcano Tagoro near the Canary Islands.[1] The International Institute of Species Exploration named Thiolava veneris one of its 2018 Top 10 New Species.[2] The mats host a wide variety of other sea life.[3]
