Query: NC_011831:4043802 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_016025:596670 Candidatus Chloracidobacterium thermophilum B chromosome chromosome
Lineage: Chloracidobacterium thermophilum; Chloracidobacterium; Acidobacteriaceae; ; Acidobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism produces bacteriochlorophyll a and c under oxic conditions and represents a new group of photosynthetic bacteria. The only known chlorophototroph in the phylum Acidobacteria. Aerobic photoheterotroph that lacks the ability to synthesize several essential nutrients. Naturally inhabits microbial mats of alkaline siliceous hot springs in Yellowstone National Park.
