Genome Sequence and Characterization of a Xanthorhodopsin-Containing, Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophic Species, Isolated from Mesophilic Conditions at Yellowstone National Park.

The genus consists of purple nonsulfur photosynthetic alphaproteobacteria known for their diverse metabolic capabilities. Here, we report the genome sequence and initial characterization of a novel species, strain M37P, isolated from Mushroom hot spring runoff in Yellowstone National Park at 37 °C. Genome-based analyses and initial growth characteristics helped to define the differentiating characteristics of this species and identified it as an aerobic anoxygenic phototroph (AAP).

Whole-Genome Sequence of a Unique Species Strain Isolated from a Yellowstone National Park Hot Spring.

The genus has only one species characterized microbiologically and two genomes sequenced. We have sequenced the genome of a unique strain isolated from Yellowstone National Park and found it to be a distinct new species. is suggested to be a member of the aerobic anoxygenic photosynthetic bacteria.

Whole-Genome Sequence of the Novel Rubrobacter taiwanensis Strain Yellowstone, Isolated from Yellowstone National Park.

The family is often represented by its thermophilic and radiotolerant species. and have been extensively studied, contributing to defining the characteristics of the family. We have now sequenced the genome of a strain, isolated from Yellowstone National Park, to further characterize the family.

Draft Genome Sequence of the Moderately Thermophilic Bacterium Schleiferia thermophila Strain Yellowstone (Bacteroidetes).

The draft genome sequence of the moderately thermophilic bacterium Schleiferia thermophila strain Yellowstone (Bacteroidetes), isolated from Octopus Spring (Yellowstone National Park, WY, USA) was sequenced and comprises 2,617,694 bp in 35 contigs. The draft genome is predicted to encode 2,457 protein coding genes and 37 tRNA encoding genes and two rRNA operons.

Complete genome sequence of the Thermophilic Bacterium Exiguobacterium sp. AT1b.

Here we present the genome of strain Exiguobacterium sp. AT1b, a thermophilic member of the genus Exiguobacterium whose representatives were isolated from various environments along a thermal and physicochemical gradient. This genome was sequenced to be a comparative resource for the study of thermal adaptation with a psychroactive representative of the genus, Exiguobacterium sibiricum strain 255-15, that was previously sequenced by the U.
