Abstract
“ Candidatus Thioglobus sp.” strain NP1 is an open-ocean isolate from the SUP05 clade of Gammaproteobacteria . Whole-genome comparisons of strain NP1 to other sequenced isolates from the SUP05 clade indicate that it represents a new species of SUP05 that lacks the ability to fix inorganic carbon using the Calvin-Benson-Bassham cycle.

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Thioglobus autotrophica” Strain EF1, a Chemoautotroph from the SUP05 Clade of Marine Gammaproteobacteria

Ca. Thioglobus autotrophica
Abstract
ABSTRACT Chemoautotrophic marine bacteria from the SUP05 clade of marine gammaproteobacteria often dominate low-oxygen waters in upwelling regions, fjords, and hydrothermal systems. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Thioglobus autotrophica” strain EF1, the first cultured chemoautotrophic representative from the SUP05 clade.

Genome Sequence of “ Candidatus Thioglobus singularis” Strain PS1, a Mixotroph from the SUP05 Clade of Marine Gammaproteobacteria

Abstract
ABSTRACT Mixotrophic marine bacteria from the SUP05 clade are ubiquitous in the ocean. Here, we announce the complete genome sequence of “ Candidatus Thioglobus singularis” strain PS1, the first cultured mixotrophic representative from the SUP05 clade.

Abstract
SummaryTwo phylogenetically distinct marine strains producing transparent exopolymers (TEP), designated HTCC2155T and HTCC2160, were cultivated from Oregon coast seawater by dilution to extinction in a high throughput culturing format. When cultured in low‐nutrient seawater media, these strains copiously produced Alcian Blue‐stainable viscous TEP. Growing cells were attached to each other by the TEP in a three dimensional network.
