Lineage: Magnetospirillum magneticum; Magnetospirillum; Rhodospirillaceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from pond water in Tokyo, Japan. Magnetic particles from Magnetospirillum magneticum have been used in DNA and RNA isolation procedures. The typical habitat of Magnetospirillum consists of shallow fresh water and sediments.
Subject: NC_007494:1 Rhodobacter sphaeroides 2.4.1 chromosome 2, complete sequence
Lineage: Rhodobacter sphaeroides; Rhodobacter; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from deep lakes and stagnate waters. A photosynthetic bacterium useful in bioremediation. Bacteria belonging to the Rhodobacter group are metabolically versatile as they are able to grow using photosynthesis, chemosynthesis, and usually can grow under both anaerobic and aerobic conditions. It can grow aerobically and anaerobically in the light and anaerobically in the dark. It produces an intracytoplasmic membrane system consisting of membrane invaginations where the light harvesting complexes (LH1 and LH2) and the reaction center are synthesized.
