General Information: Candidatus Amoebophilus asiaticus 5a2 is an obligate endosymbiont found in Acanthamoeba sp. TUMSJ-321. This organism is a member of the highly diverse bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes which includes the endosymbiont lineages represented by the sister taxa Candidatus A. asiaticus and Candidatus Cardinium hertigii, a symbiont of arthropods.
Subject: NC_006371:1997954 Photobacterium profundum SS9 chromosome 2, complete sequence
Lineage: Photobacterium profundum; Photobacterium; Vibrionaceae; Vibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated at a depth of 2500 m from the Sulu Trough. High pressure tolerant bacterium. This bioluminescent genus was originally identified in 1878 in association with hake (a marine fish) in Cape Town, South Africa. This species was originally isolated from an amphipod homogenate enrichment from the Sulu Sea. It is a genetically tractable model system for studies of low temperature and high pressure adaptation, and has been used in studies of mono- and polyunsaturated fatty acid production under these conditions.
