General Information: Isolation: water fern Azolla; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Host. Nostoc azollae, formerly Anabaena azollae, is a cyanobacterial symbiont of the water fern Azolla, commonly known as 'duckweed'. Nostoc azollae is a nitrogen-fixer and provides nitrogen to the host plant.
Subject: NC_008340:480399 Alkalilimnicola ehrlichei MLHE-1, complete genome
Lineage: Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii; Alkalilimnicola; Ectothiorhodospiraceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This chemoautotrophic strain was isolated from Mono Lake in California, which contains arsenic and has high pH and salt concentrations. Arsenite-oxidizing bacterium. Alkalilimnicola ehrlichei is capable of growth with arsenite [As(III)] as the electron donor with nitrate as electron acceptor. It may be responsible for production of arsenate [As(V)] in anoxic lake bottom.
