Query: NC_017079:2634623 Caldilinea aerophila DSM 14535 = NBRC 104270, complete genome Lineage: Caldilinea aerophila; Caldilinea; Caldilineaceae; Caldilineales; Chloroflexi; Bacteria General Information: Caldilinea aerophila strain STL-6-O1T was isolated from a sulfur-turf sample in a pH neutral Japanese hot spring. It stains gram-negative and is facultatively aerobic: it grows both aerobically and anaerobically (fermentatively). Optimal growth occurs at 55 degrees C, pH 7.5 - 8.0. It requires yeast extract.

General Information: This organism is a thermophilic, filamentous, phototroph first isolated from a hot spring in Japan. Chloroflexus aggregans contains chlorosomes with bacteriochlorophyll a and c as the main photosynthetic pigments. This organism has active gliding mobility and forms mat-like aggregates in liquid media.
