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: They are commonly found in the oral, vaginal, and intestinal regions of many animals. Lactobacilli are important industrial microbes that contribute to the production of cheese, yogurt, fermented milks, and other products, all stemming from the production of lactic acid, which inhibits the growth of other organisms as well as lowering the pH of the food product. Industrial production requires the use of starter cultures, which are carefully created, cultivated, and maintained, which produce specific end products during fermentation that impart flavor to the final product, as well as contributing important metabolic reactions, such as the breakdown of milk proteins during cheese production. The end product of fermentation, lactic acid, is also being used as a starter molecule for complex organic molecule syntheses. Lactobacillus crispatus is a member of the normal human oral, gastrointestinal, and genital tract microflora.
