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_011978:493800 Thermotoga neapolitana DSM 4359, complete genome
Lineage: Thermotoga neapolitana; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria
General Information: This hyperthermophilic organism was first isolated from a black smoker in the bay near Naples, Italy in 1986. This organism, like other Thermotoga, produces a vast quantity of hydrogen in batch culture. It is being considered for use in projects to utilize waste carboydrates for the production of hydrogen gas for industrial purposes. A number of thermostable enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase are also produced by this bacterium and may be of use for industrial purposes.
