Sedimenticolaceae is a family of bacteria of the order Chromatiales within the Gammaproteobacteria.[1][2] The family was proposed upon the discovery of Sedimenticola hydrogenitrophicus in samples isolated from a terrestrial mud volcano.[3]
Like other Proteobacteria, the Sedimenticolaceae are Gram-negative and some members are chemolithoautotrophic (similar to the Halothiobacillaceae and Thioalkalibacteraceae).[3]
