The phototrophic bacteria were isolated from water and silt of Saki lake (AR Crimea). The were brown-red coloured. This bacteria used hydrogen sulfide in anaerobic photosyntetical process and stored elemental sulfur inside the cells. According to physiological, biochemical, morphological properties, this bacteria was ascribed to Chromatiacea е family. The 16S DNA gene sequence analysis based on using Blastn program revealed that investigated consecution has 94% similarity to Thiohalocapsa haloph
