Query: NC_008043:167108 Silicibacter sp. TM1040 mega plasmid, complete sequence

Lineage: Ruegeria; Ruegeria; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a culture of the dinoflagellate Pfiesteria piscicida CCMP1830 which has been implicated in many large scale algal blooms resulting in increased mortality in fish. The bacteria are attached to the surface of the dinoflagellate and in some ways allow the dinoflagellate to grow as those lacking the bacteria die off. The bacterium also chemotaxes towards the dinoflagellate product DMSP (dimethylsulfoniopropionate) and metabolizes it. DMSP is a major source of sulfur in marine ecosystems and plays a role in the sulfur biogeochemical cycle. The implication is a tight association between these important dinoflagellates and this marine bacterium.

Subject: NC_014664:2373451 Rhodomicrobium vannielii ATCC 17100 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Rhodomicrobium vannielii; Rhodomicrobium; Hyphomicrobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Rhodomicrobium vannielii is a budding prosthecate bacterium. Rhodomicrobium vannielii is a purple non-sulfur bacterium isolated in 1949 that is photosynthetic under anaerobic conditions. It is able to grow with ferrous iron as electron donor, although this does not support growth over a long time.
