Query: NC_008789:350650 Halorhodospira halophila SL1, complete genome

Lineage: Halorhodospira halophila; Halorhodospira; Ectothiorhodospiraceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Halorhodospira halophila SL1 was isolated from salt lake mud. Sulfur-oxidizing extreme halophile. This organism, formerly Ectothiorhodospira halophila is alkaliphilic, phototrophic, halophile. This is one of the most halophilic eubacteria known, and produces organic solutes such as glycine betaine, ectoine, and trehalose to balance the osmotic pressure. This organism oxidizes sulfide to sulfur, which is deposited outside the cell and further oxidized to sulfate. This organism also produces a blue light sensor called photoactive yellow protein which is involved in signal transduction.

Subject: NC_015757:263938 Sulfobacillus acidophilus TPY chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfobacillus acidophilus; Sulfobacillus; Clostridiales Family XVII; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Sulfobacillus acidophilus was first isolated from a coal spoil heap in the United Kingdom. This orgainism is an acidophilic sulfur- and iron-oxidizing bacterium capable of autotrophic growth on iron and sulfur.
