The Rhodospirillaceae form a family of bacteria within the class of Alphaproteobacteria . Most species in this family are capable of anoxygenic photosynthesis using organics as electron donors, not reduced sulfur compounds . They therefore belong to the physiological group of non-sulfur purple bacteria .

Some types are nitrogen fixers . You can assimilate elemental nitrogen (N ₂ ) from the environment and thus indirectly make it available to other organisms such as plants.

The genus Magnetospirillum contains magnetotactic bacteria that use magentosomes to align their direction of movement with the earth's magnetic field. Examples are the species Magnetospirillum gryphiswaldense and Magnetospirillum magnetotacticum .
