Query: NC_014664:1669642 Rhodomicrobium vannielii ATCC 17100 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Rhodomicrobium vannielii; Rhodomicrobium; Hyphomicrobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Rhodomicrobium vannielii is a budding prosthecate bacterium. Rhodomicrobium vannielii is a purple non-sulfur bacterium isolated in 1949 that is photosynthetic under anaerobic conditions. It is able to grow with ferrous iron as electron donor, although this does not support growth over a long time.

General Information: Bacterium that undergoes asymmetric cell division and differentiation. Caulobacter vibroides, also known as Caulobacter crescentus, inhabits aquatic environments and plays an important part in biogeochemical cycling of organic nutrients. This bacterium undergoes an unusual developmental cycle in which a swarming motile cell becomes a stalked cell that is attached to a solid surface. The stalked cell then undergoes asymmetric cell division and produces one flagellated motile daughter cell and one stalked daughter cell. Thus, the asymmetric processes in this organism provide useful models for differentiation and development. This organism also contains a number of energy-dependent transport system, presumably enabling growth in the substrate-sparse aquatic environments that it lives in.
