Query: NC_010831:40000 Chlorobium phaeobacteroides BS1, complete genome Lineage: Chlorobium phaeobacteroides; Chlorobium; Chlorobiaceae; Chlorobiales; Chlorobi; Bacteria General Information: Photosynthetic microorganism. This species contains several carotenoids, predominated by isorenieratene and beta-isorenieratene. These are necessary for light harvesting and photoprotection, which are important functions in photosynthesis. This species demonstrates a novel type of carotenoid-mediated photoadaptation induced by the change of theta-end and beta-end carotenoid groups, under various light intensities.

General Information: Chlorobaculum parvum, formerly Chlorobium vibrioforme subsp. thiosulfatophilum, is a green sulfur photosynthetic bacterium which contains bacteriochlorophyl d and the caratenoid chlorobactene. This organism grows photolithotrophically using sulfide, sulfur or thiosulfate as electron donors.
