Query: NC_009524:1796000 Psychrobacter sp. PRwf-1 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Psychrobacter; Psychrobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: This organism grows slower than Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4 at 4 degrees C, but is capable of growth at 37 degrees C, while strain 273-4 is not. Psychrobacter is a member of the gamma Proteobacteria family. This genus is commonly isolated from cold environments, including soil, sea-ice, and the skin and gills of fish. It has also been associated with food spoilage and is often resistant to irradiation used for food preservation. Psychrobacters have also been identified from a variety of human sources. The strain Psychrobacter sp. PRwf-1 was isolated from the skin and gills of Lutjanus vivanus caught off the coast of Loíza in northeastern Puerto Rico.

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.
