What does Thermotogae do?
The metabolic ability of Thermotogae to utilize different complex-carbohydrates for production of hydrogen gas led to these species being cited as a possible biotechnological source for production of energy alternative to fossil fuels.
What is Thermotoga bacteria?
Thermotoga is a genus of the phylum Thermotogae. Members of Thermotoga are hyperthermophilic bacteria whose cell is wrapped in a unique sheath-like outer membrane, called a "toga". The members of the phylum stain Gram-negative as they possess a thin peptidoglycan in between two lipid bilayers, albeit both peculiar.
Where is thermotoga found?
Thermotoga isolated from geothermally heated sea floors in Italy and the Azores is a recently described genus with three species. These bacteria were originally isolated from geothermally heated marine sediments and hot springs.
Is Thermotoga Gram positive or negative?
Thermotoga maritima is a Gram-negative, extremely thermophilic bacterium isolated from geothermally heated sea floors by Huber et al.
What species is Aquificae?
Along with Thermotogae, members of Aquificae are thermophilic eubacteria. The Aquificaceae family in the phylum Aquificae contains five genera, including Aquifex and Thermocrinis. Aquifex is a genus of bacteria, one of the few in the phylum Aquificae. The two species generally classified in Aquifex are A.
Who discovered Chloroflexi?
In 1987, Carl Woese, regarded as the forerunner of the molecular phylogeny revolution, divided Eubacteria into 11 divisions based on 16S ribosomal RNA (SSU) sequences and grouped the genera Chloroflexus, Herpetosiphon and Thermomicrobium into the "green non-sulfur bacteria and relatives", which was temporarily renamed ...
What is aquifex SPP?
Aquifex spp. are rod-shaped bacteria with a length of 2 to 6 µm, have a diameter of around 0.5 µm and are motile. They are non-sporeforming, Gram negative autotrophs. Aquifex means water-maker in Latin, and refers to the fact that its method of respiration creates water.
How do Planctomycetes reproduce?
Planctomycetes are a phylum of aquatic bacteria. They are found in samples of brackish, marine, and fresh water. They reproduce by budding. In structure, the organisms of this group are ovoid and have a holdfast, called the stalk, at the non-reproductive end that helps them to attach to each other during budding.
Can bacteria survive radiation?
Deinococcus radiodurans is an extremophilic bacterium and one of the most radiation-resistant organisms known. It can survive cold, dehydration, vacuum, and acid, and therefore is known as a polyextremophile.
Who discovered Aquificae?
A. pyrophilus was discovered by Robert Huber and Karl Stetter in 1992 in a body of water just north of Ireland. b. Aquifex pyrophilus is a rod shaped bacteria, typically 2-6 micrometers in length and 0.5 micrometers in diameter.
Where is Acidobacteria found?
Members of this phylum are physiologically diverse, and can be found in a variety of environments including soil, decomposing wood, hot springs, oceans, caves, and metal-contaminated soils. The members of this phylum are particularly abundant in soil habitats representing up to 52% of the total bacterial community.
