“ Candidatus Cloacamonas Acidaminovorans”: Genome Sequence Reconstruction Provides a First Glimpse of a New Bacterial Division

Cloacimonas Cloacimonas acidaminivorans Ts
Abstract
ABSTRACT Many microorganisms live in anaerobic environments. Most of these microorganisms have not yet been cultivated. Here, we present, from a metagenomic analysis of an anaerobic digester of a municipal wastewater treatment plant, a reconstruction of the complete genome of a bacterium belonging to the WWE1 candidate division. In silico proteome analysis indicated that this bacterium might derive most of its carbon and energy from the fermentation of amino acids, and hen

Initial Characterization of the Photosynthetic Apparatus of “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila,” a Filamentous, Anoxygenic Photoautotroph

Citation
van de Meene et al. (2007). Journal of Bacteriology 189 (11)
Names
“Chlorotrichoides halophilum”
Abstract
ABSTRACT “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila” is a recently described halophilic, filamentous, anoxygenic photoautotroph (J. A. Klappenbach and B. K. Pierson, Arch. Microbiol. 181: 17-25, 2004) that was enriched from the hypersaline microbial mats at Guerrero Negro, Mexico. Analysis of the photosynthetic apparatus by negative staining, spectroscopy, and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis indicated that t

Pigment Analysis of “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila,” a Green Filamentous Anoxygenic Phototrophic Bacterium

Citation
Olson et al. (2007). Journal of Bacteriology 189 (11)
Names
“Chlorotrichoides halophilum”
Abstract
ABSTRACT The pigment composition of “ Candidatus Chlorothrix halophila,” a filamentous anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium found in Baja California Sur, Mexico, was determined. Previous work showed that bacteriochlorophyll c (BChl c ) was the major pigment in “ Ca . Chlorothrix halophila,” but it was not clear if this bacterium also contains BChl a (J. A. K

The dps Gene of Symbiotic “ Candidatus Legionella jeonii” in Amoeba proteus Responds to Hydrogen Peroxide and Phagocytosis

Citation
Park et al. (2006). Journal of Bacteriology 188 (21)
Names
Ca. Legionella jeonii
Abstract
ABSTRACT To survive in host cells, intracellular pathogens or symbiotic bacteria require protective mechanisms to overcome the oxidative stress generated by phagocytic activities of the host. By genomic library tagging, we cloned a dps (stands for D NA-binding p rotein from s tarved cells) gene of the symbiotic “ Candidatus Legionella jeonii” organism (ca
