Lineage: Psychroflexus torquis; Psychroflexus; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Psychroflexus torquis is psychophilic and is an algal epiphyte. The microbe is a chemoheterotroph and requires seawater to grow and is motile by a gliding motility mechanism. Colonies produce an orange carotenoid-like pigment.
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.
