Lineage: Oceanobacillus iheyensis; Oceanobacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is extremely salt tolerant and alkaliphilic and has a number of hydrogen, sodium and potassium transporters to deal with these extreme environments. This organism was isolated from deep sea mud (1050 m) from the Iheya ridge near Okinawa, Japan in 1998.
Subject: NC_003910:4234000 Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H, complete genome
Lineage: Colwellia psychrerythraea; Colwellia; Colwelliaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from Arctic marine sediments. Psychrophilic bacterium. This obligately psychrophilic red-pigmented organism is often found in sea ice, and can grow in temperatures down to -5 C, remaining motile even at those low temperatures. It can produce extracellular enzymes such as proteases that have activity at very low temperatures.
