Leptothrix is a genus of Gram-negative bacteria in the class Betaproteobacteria. The name is from the Greek leptos thrix. They occur in standing or slow-flowing, ferruginous, neutral to slightly acidic fresh waters with only low concentrations of organic matter. The energy metabolism of Leptothrix is strictly aerobic, oxidative, and chemoorganoheterotrophic. Five species are known: L. ochracea, L. discophora, L. cholodnii, L. lopholea, and L. mobilis.

Leptothrix ochracea is a bacterium from the genus Leptothrix. It occurs in iron-rich fresh water and wetlands with only low concentrations of organic matter.

Leptothrix cholodnii is a bacterium from the genus Leptothrix, which has the ability to oxidize Fe(II).

Leptothrix mobilis is a bacterium from the genus Leptothrix which was isolated from freshwater sediments.
