Lineage: Roseobacter litoralis; Roseobacter; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This type strain for the species was collected from seaweed and isolated by direct plating. Capable of performing aerobic anoxygenic photosynthesis. Photosynthesis genes are located on a plasmid, which is unusual for aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs.
Subject: NC_014006:63000 Sphingobium japonicum UT26S chromosome 1, complete genome
Lineage: Sphingobium japonicum; Sphingobium; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Sphingobium japonicum (strain NBRC 101211 / UT26S) is a yellow-pigmented, non-motile, aerobic, hexachlorocyclohexane (HCH)-degrading Gram-negative bacterium isolated from a dumpsite in the vicinity of an industry that has been producing lindane. HCH has been used extensively as insect control agents in the health and agriculture fields. Sphingobium japonicum, formerly Sphingomonas paucimobilis, is able to degrade hexachlorocyclohexane which has been used extensively as insect control agents in the health and agriculture fields.
