Query: NC_011027:136954 Chlorobaculum parvum NCIB 8327, complete genome
Lineage: Chlorobaculum parvum; Chlorobaculum; Chlorobiaceae; Chlorobiales; Chlorobi; Bacteria
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.
Subject: NC_003869:45560 Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4, complete genome
Lineage: Caldanaerobacter subterraneus; Caldanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a hot spring in Tengcong, China, and is the type strain for the species. Genomic analysis indicates it is similar to Bacillus halodurans and that it has one of the most biased leading strand distribution of genes. Although the organism has not been observed to be motile or to sporulate, it does contain genes for both functions. The bacterium produces acetate and ethanol from glucose and cannot degrade xylan and cellulose.
