Lineage: Ruthia magnifica; Ruthia; ; sulfur-oxidizing symbionts; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Candidatus Ruthia magnifica is a chemoautotrophic bacteria that lives symbiotically in the gut of a giant clam. This organism is an endosymbiont of the hydrothermal vent clam Calyptogena magnifica.
Subject: NC_014836:2325559 Desulfurispirillum indicum S5 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfurispirillum indicum; Desulfurispirillum; Chrysiogenaceae; Chrysiogenales; Chrysiogenetes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Temp: Mesophile. This is the first cultured species of the proposed new genus "Desulfurispirillum", and the sequencing of its genome will expand the range of experimental approaches that researchers can use to characterize its metabolic pathways for energy production and understand how these pathways are regulated. This organism is notable for its ability to reduce selenate to selenite and further to insoluble elemental selenium, in a process called dissimilatory selenate reduction.
