General Information: Isolation: Boiled ox blood; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C. This species was formerly classified as Listeria denitrificans, and is the only species of the genus Jonesia. It is a Gram-positive nonspore-forming, motile rod that is catalase positive, oxidase negative, and facultatively anaerobic.
Subject: NC_003869:74836 Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4, complete genome
Lineage: Caldanaerobacter subterraneus; Caldanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a hot spring in Tengcong, China, and is the type strain for the species. Genomic analysis indicates it is similar to Bacillus halodurans and that it has one of the most biased leading strand distribution of genes. Although the organism has not been observed to be motile or to sporulate, it does contain genes for both functions. The bacterium produces acetate and ethanol from glucose and cannot degrade xylan and cellulose.
