Lineage: Salinibacter ruber; Salinibacter; Rhodothermaceae; Bacteroidetes Order II; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Salinibacter ruber (strain M8) is a brightly red-pigmented, motile, rod-shaped, extremely halophilic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a saltern crystallizer pond in Mallorca, Spain. It grows optimally at salt concentrations between 20 and 30% and does not grow below 15% salt. S. ruber is among the most halophilic organisms known within the domain Bacteria. This organism is an extremely halophilic aerobe originally isolated from saltern crystallizer ponds in Spain. These bacteria can coexist in significant colonies with halophilic archaea under saline conditions. In contrast to other bacteria they do not regulate their intracellular salt conditions through proton pumps, but instead their protein makeup has adapted to be functional under high ionic conditions.

Subject: NC_007947:577315 Methylobacillus flagellatus KT, complete genome

Lineage: Methylobacillus flagellatus; Methylobacillus; Methylophilaceae; Methylophilales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from activated sludge found at the wastewater treatment plant in Moscow, Russia and is the fastest growing methylotroph discovered. Methanol-degrading bacterium. Methylobacillus flagellatus is a methylotroph, able to grow on compounds such as methanol and methyamines. These organisms play a role in the environmental cycling of carbon and nitrogen.
