Background Thermanaerovibrio acidaminovorans (strain ATCC 49978 / DSM 6589 / Su883), formerly Selenomonas acidaminovorans, is a strictly anaerobic, motile, non-spore-forming, thermophilic Gram-negative bacterium isolated from an anaerobic reactor of a sugar refinery in Netherlands. It is of phylogenetic interest because it is the first completed genome sequence from a member of the very isolated novel phylum Synergistetes. T. acidaminovorans is able to ferment quite a number of amino acids and carbohydrates (glutamate, alpha-ketoglutarate, histidine, arginine, ornithine, lysine, and threonine) to acetate and propionate. Its metabolism is greatly enhanced in the presence of the hydrogen scavenger M. thermoautotrophicum, from which several substrates are formed as reduced fermentation product. T. acidaminovorans is able to grow by oxidative decarboxylation of succinate to propionate and lithoheterotrophically with hydrogen as electron donor and elemental sulfur as electron acceptor. Its optimal growth temperature is 55 degrees Celsius. (Adaptated from: http://standardsingenomics.org/index.php/sigen/article/view/sigs.40645/pdf_19). (EBI Integr8)
