Aurantimicrobium minutum type strain KNC(T) is a planktonic ultramicrobacterium isolated from river water in western Japan. Strain KNC(T) has an extremely small, streamlined genome of 1,622,386 bp comprising 1,575 protein-coding sequences. The genome annotation suggests that strain KNC(T) has an actinorhodopsin-based photometabolism.

Article Synopsis
- In vertebrates, germ cell sexual identity is influenced by the sex of gonadal somatic cells, specifically demonstrated in the teleost fish medaka where the Y chromosome gene DMY/dmrt1bY plays a key role.
- A newly identified gene, Sdgc, shows higher expression in early XY germ cells and is controlled by the number of Y chromosomes, indicating a germ cell-autonomous mechanism for sexually different characteristics.
- Interestingly, DMY/dmrt1bY is expressed in germ cells before gonad formation, but modifications to its expression do not affect Sdgc, highlighting the complexity of sexual differentiation and the impact of these genes prior to sex determination.
