Query: NC_011027:1763952 Chlorobaculum parvum NCIB 8327, complete genome
Lineage: Chlorobaculum parvum; Chlorobaculum; Chlorobiaceae; Chlorobiales; Chlorobi; Bacteria
General Information: Chlorobaculum parvum, formerly Chlorobium vibrioforme subsp. thiosulfatophilum, is a green sulfur photosynthetic bacterium which contains bacteriochlorophyl d and the caratenoid chlorobactene. This organism grows photolithotrophically using sulfide, sulfur or thiosulfate as electron donors.
Subject: NC_009767:5230790 Roseiflexus castenholzii DSM 13941, complete genome
Lineage: Roseiflexus castenholzii; Roseiflexus; Chloroflexaceae; Chloroflexales; Chloroflexi; Bacteria
General Information: Photosynthetic thermophile. Roseiflexus castenholzii is related to the Chloroflexaceae, a family of anoxygenic phototrophs. However, it differs from other members of that family in that it lacks chlorosomes and bacteriochlorophyll-c. Bacteriochlorophyll-a is the major photosynthetic pigment in Roseiflexus castenholzii. This organism was isolated from a hot spring microbial mat in a Japanese hot spring.
