Lineage: Thermus thermophilus; Thermus; Thermaceae; Thermales; Deinococcus-Thermus; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a natural thermal environment in Japan. Thermophilic bacterium. This species is extremely thermophilic and has been useful in analyzing bacterial life and biochemical processes under high temperature as well as being a source of thermophilic enzymes.
Subject: NC_014654:1 Halanaerobium sp. 'sapolanicus' chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Halanaerobium hydrogeniformans; Halanaerobium; Halanaerobiaceae; Halanaerobiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water, Sediment; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 34 - 42C. Organisms identified in the genus Halanaerobium (also known as Haloanaerobium) were first isolated from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA and have since been isolated from diverse saline environments such as oil reserviors, brine-seawater interfaces and hypersaline sediments. These bacteria are extremely salt-tolerant and are able to grow in concentrations of salt as high as 25%.
