Thiotrichales is an order of sulfur-oxidizing bacteria within the class Gammaproteobacteria. The members of this order are known for their large size and ability to live in sulfur rich environments. Thiotrichales has an important role in the sulfur and nitrogen cycles in marine and freshwater sediments, hydrothermal vents, and areas with an accumulation of organic matter.
