Query: NC_011365:592256 Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus PAl 5 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus; Gluconacetobacter; Acetobacteraceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Gluconacetobacter diazotrophicus strain PAL5 (ATCC 49037) was isolated from sugarcane roots in Brazil. Nitrogen-fixing plant symbiont. This acid-tolerant organism is endophytic and colonizes internal plant tissues, establishing a symbiotic relationship with its host. This bacterium has been found in sugarcane, coffee, rice, tea, and other plants. The nitrogen-fixation systems of the bacterium provide the plant with essential nitrogenous compounds while the plant provides a protected environment for the bacterium to grow in. Nitrogen-fixation is important for sugarcane production, and this organism can fix nitrogen even in the presence of nitrate.

General Information: This strain (ATCC 23779; DSM 785) was isolated from Birch Lake in Minnesota, USA. Herpetosiphon aurantiacus grows in long, flexible, filaments with a transparent section of empty cell wall at the end of the filament. Herpetosiphon spp. and Herpetosiphon-like organisms have been found in soil, freshwater, and sewage treatment plants. These organisms have been implicated in the bulking of sludge in sewage treatment plants, which is problematic in that the sludge retains more water, making subsequent disposal difficult.
