Lineage: Salinibacter ruber; Salinibacter; Rhodothermaceae; Bacteroidetes Order II; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Salinibacter ruber (strain M8) is a brightly red-pigmented, motile, rod-shaped, extremely halophilic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a saltern crystallizer pond in Mallorca, Spain. It grows optimally at salt concentrations between 20 and 30% and does not grow below 15% salt. S. ruber is among the most halophilic organisms known within the domain Bacteria. This organism is an extremely halophilic aerobe originally isolated from saltern crystallizer ponds in Spain. These bacteria can coexist in significant colonies with halophilic archaea under saline conditions. In contrast to other bacteria they do not regulate their intracellular salt conditions through proton pumps, but instead their protein makeup has adapted to be functional under high ionic conditions.

Subject: NC_018581:1180951 Gordonia sp. KTR9 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Gordonia; Gordonia; Gordoniaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolated from soil at an explosives testing facility. Can transform hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a cyclic nitramine explosive. Many military ranges in the United States and Canada are contaminated with explosive and propellant residues. Of the nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives that exist on these sites, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has a low sorption capacity and can migrate through soil into surface water and groundwater.
