Query: NC_013209:1531366 Acetobacter pasteurianus IFO 3283-01, complete genome Lineage: Acetobacter pasteurianus; Acetobacter; Acetobacteraceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Acetobacter aceti IFO 3283, was originally isolated from a pellicle (a kind of biofilm) on the surface of vinegar fermentation. Acetobacter pasteurianus is an acetic acid-producing bacterium commonly found associated with plants and plant products. This organism is used in the production of fermented foods, such as kefir, and vinegar.

General Information: Isolated from Lake Gabara in Egypt. Extreme haloalkaliphilic archeon. Natronomonas pharaonis is able to survive at high salt and pH conditions which results in limited nitrogen availability through ammonium. In order to compensate for this, Natronomonas pharaonis has developed three systems to promote nitrogen assimilation: direct uptake of ammonia, uptake of nitrate, and uptake of urea. Another problem with high pH environments is the use of a proton gradient for the generation of ATP, which other alkaliphiles have adapted to by substitution of sodium ions for protons. However, this organism utilizes protons for ATP generation as determined by experimental data.
