Lineage: Bacteriovorax marinus; Bacteriovorax; Bacteriovoracaceae; Bdellovibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium is an unusual species which parasitizes other gram negative bacteria during its growth phase. It has a highly motile free-living extracelluar phase during which it seeks out new hosts.
Subject: NC_009943:1637582 Candidatus Desulfococcus oleovorans Hxd3, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfococcus oleovorans; Desulfococcus; Desulfobacteraceae; Desulfobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: An alkane-degrading sulfate-reducing Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the saline water phase of an oil-water separator from a northern German oil field. Desulfococcus oleovorans, originally designated Desulfobacterium oleovorans, was isolated using hexadecane as a carbon source and has been used to determine the mechanism of anaerobic hydrocarbon degradation.
