General Information: This organism is a thermophilic, filamentous, phototroph first isolated from a hot spring in Japan. Chloroflexus aggregans contains chlorosomes with bacteriochlorophyll a and c as the main photosynthetic pigments. This organism has active gliding mobility and forms mat-like aggregates in liquid media.
Subject: NC_007798:703922 Neorickettsia sennetsu str. Miyayama, complete genome
Lineage: Neorickettsia sennetsu; Neorickettsia; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was first described in 1953 in Japan as causing Sennetsu fever. Causes an infectious mononucleosis-like disease. Like other Ehrlichia, this organism is an obligate intracellular pathogen. It can be transmitted from fish flukes (trematodes) to humans, and was one of the first Ehrlichia that was found to cause a human-specific illness.
