Query: NC_013422:2004478 Halothiobacillus neapolitanus c2, complete genome Lineage: Halothiobacillus neapolitanus; Halothiobacillus; Halothiobacillaceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Isolation: Sulfide-rich natural spa; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30 - 40C. Halothiobacillus neapolitanus is a sulfur-oxidizing, chemoautotrophic, Gram-negative bacterium able to tolerate high concentrations of sulfide. This organism fixes CO2 using a polyhedral body called a carboxysome which contains the primary carbon fixing enzyme, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.

General Information: This strain was isolated from Arctic marine sediments. Psychrophilic bacterium. This obligately psychrophilic red-pigmented organism is often found in sea ice, and can grow in temperatures down to -5 C, remaining motile even at those low temperatures. It can produce extracellular enzymes such as proteases that have activity at very low temperatures.
