Marinitoga piezophila was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at a depth of 2630 meters on the East-Pacific Rise. This organism grows best at a pressure of 40 MPa. This organism is a member of the Thermatogales and has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall.
Subject: NC_014314:576465 Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens BL-DC-9 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens; Dehalogenimonas; ; Dehalococcoidales; Chloroflexi; Bacteria
General Information: Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens BL-DC-9 is a strictly anaerobic, reductively dechlorinating Gram-negative bacterium isolated from groundwater at a superfund (law designs to clean up sites contaminated with hazardous substances) site located near Baton Rouge, USA, in an area contaminated by high concentrations of several chlorinated alkanes and alkenes. Dehalogenimonas lykanthroporepellens is able to reductively dehalogenate polychlorinated alkanes such as 1,2,3-trichloropropane and 1,2-dichloroethane.
