Lineage: Methylacidiphilum infernorum; Methylacidiphilum; Methylacidiphilaceae; Methylacidiphilales; Verrucomicrobia; Bacteria
General Information: Methylacidiphilum infernorum V4 was first discovered in Hell's Gate geothermal area in New Zealand. It is extremely acidophilic and is able to utilize methane as sole carbon source.
Subject: NC_009454:259022 Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum SI, complete genome
Lineage: Pelotomaculum thermopropionicum; Pelotomaculum; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This type strain was isolated from granular sludge from a thermophilic upflow anaerobic sludge blanket (UASB) reactor. It was isolated both in pure culture and in co-culture with methanogens. In syntrophic association with hydrogenotrophic methanogens, this species can utilize propionate, ethanol, lactate, ethylene glycol, 1-butanol, 1-propanol, 1-pentanol and 1,3-propanediol. This is the first mesophilic, syntropic propionate-oxidizing species known which is not a member of the delta-proteobacteria.
