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_015259:485015 Polymorphum gilvum SL003B-26A1 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Polymorphum gilvum; Polymorphum; ; ; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Polymorphum gilvum SL003B-26A1 is a type strain of a newly published novel species in the novel genus Polymorphum. It was isolated from a crude oil-polluted saline soil in Shengli Oilfield, China and could use the crude oil as the sole carbon source. Oil pollution has become a global issue because of its severe ecological impact and destruction. Bioremediation is proved to be an effective process to restore the oil polluted environments. The complete genome sequence of Polymorphum gilvum SL003B-26A1 provides new strategies for bioremediation of oil contaminated environment.
