Query: NC_011831:787788 Chloroflexus aggregans DSM 9485, complete genome
Lineage: Chloroflexus aggregans; Chloroflexus; Chloroflexaceae; Chloroflexales; Chloroflexi; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is a thermophilic, filamentous, phototroph first isolated from a hot spring in Japan. Chloroflexus aggregans contains chlorosomes with bacteriochlorophyll a and c as the main photosynthetic pigments. This organism has active gliding mobility and forms mat-like aggregates in liquid media.
Subject: NC_014654:1 Halanaerobium sp. 'sapolanicus' chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Halanaerobium hydrogeniformans; Halanaerobium; Halanaerobiaceae; Halanaerobiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water, Sediment; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 34 - 42C. Organisms identified in the genus Halanaerobium (also known as Haloanaerobium) were first isolated from the Great Salt Lake in Utah, USA and have since been isolated from diverse saline environments such as oil reserviors, brine-seawater interfaces and hypersaline sediments. These bacteria are extremely salt-tolerant and are able to grow in concentrations of salt as high as 25%.
