Query: NC_015730:3853065 Roseobacter litoralis Och 149 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Roseobacter litoralis; Roseobacter; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This type strain for the species was collected from seaweed and isolated by direct plating. Capable of performing aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis. Photosynthesis genes are located on a plasmid, which is unusual for aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs.
Subject: NC_007677:3316540 Salinibacter ruber DSM 13855, complete genome
Lineage: Salinibacter ruber; Salinibacter; Rhodothermaceae; Bacteroidetes Order II; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: 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.
