PP1Y, complete genome Lineage: Novosphingobium; Novosphingobium; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria General Information: Novosphingobium sp. PP1Y is a marine bacteria specifically adapted to use fuels as energy source. It is able to grow on a wide range of mono-, poly- and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Isolated from a surface seawater sample collected from a closed bay in the harbour of Pozzuoli (Naples, Italy).

General Information: Country: Djibouti; Isolation: Continental solfataric spring; Africa; Temp: Hyperthermophile; Temp: 80C. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. Preliminary sequencing of Thermotogales genomes has identified extensive horizontal gene transfer between these organisms and the Archaea. Thermotoga thermarum does not grow at high salt concentrations (>0.6% NaCL). This organism also produces heat stable enzymes such as endoxylanase, beta xylosidase and alpha arabinofuranosidase which may have commercial uses.
