Submitted by Schramm, Andreas
Species Electrothrix arhusiensis
- Etymology
- [ar.hu.si.en'sis] N.L. fem. adj. arhusiensis, pertaining to Aarhus (in its medieval Latin form), a city in Denmark on the Jutland peninsula, referring to the place of the first discovery of cable bacteria
- Nomenclatural type
- NCBI Assembly: GCA_942491045.1 Ts
- Reference Strain
- MAR-mqMAG
- Description
-
Filamentous bacteria of centimeter length that inhabit the surface of marine and coastal sediment and conduct electrons from sulfide-oxidizing cells to oxygen- or nitrate-reducing cells. Gliding motility. Gram-negative, with distinct ridges running longitudinally along the filament. Can assimilate acetate and propionate; CO2 fixation via the Wood-Ljungdahl pathway. Contains c-type cytochromes and type IV pili (PilA). Polyphosphate and polyglucose storage. Distinguishable by morphology and genome.
