Query: NC_011295:847903 Coprothermobacter proteolyticus DSM 5265, complete genome Lineage: Coprothermobacter proteolyticus; Coprothermobacter; Thermodesulfobiaceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: This organism was isolated from a thermophilic digestor that was fermenting tannery wastes and cattle manure. Coprothermobacter proteolyticus is a nonmotile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium. This organism was originally classified as Thermobacteroides proteolyticus and subsequently assigned to the new genus of Coprothermobacter.

General Information: This nitrite-oxidizing bacterium was found through enrichment from activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the enriched bacteria represented a novel Nitrospira species closely related to uncultured Nitrospira-like bacteria previously found in wastewater treatment plants and nitrifying bioreactors.
