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_010524:3391075 Leptothrix cholodnii SP-6, complete genome
Lineage: Leptothrix cholodnii; Leptothrix; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Leptothrix cholodnii SP-6 was isolated from water and flocculent from an artificial iron seep in Ithaca, NY, USA. Leptothrix cholodnii, like other Leptothrix species is an iron- and manganese-oxidizing, sheathed bacterium common in organic rich aquatic environments. Iron oxides and manganese oxides often coat the sheathes of these organisms.
