Symbiobacterium thermophilum IAM 14863

Taxonomy
Names	Symbiobacterium thermophilum IAM 14863
Accession numbers	NC_006177
Background	Symbiobacterium thermophilum is an uncultivable bacterium isolated from compost that depends on microbial commensalism. The Gram-stain result indicates that S.thermophilum is Gram-negative whereas the results of the 16S ribosomal DNA phylogenic study indicates that it belongs to the Gram-positive group. Proteins associated with the S-layer have been identified in S.thermophilum and Gram variability was observed in several S-layer-coated bacteria.(From http://www.expasy.org/sprot/hamap/SYMTH.html) (BacMap)
