Pelobacter carbinolicus DSM 2380

Pelobacter_carbinolicus
Names Pelobacter carbinolicus DSM 2380
Accession numbers NC_007498
Background Pelobacter carbinolicus is a Gram-negative Deltaproteobacterium. Pelobacter species are phylogenetically intertwined with Geobacter and Desulfuromonas species but the Pelobacter species lack several of the physiological characteristics of Geobacter and Desulfuromonas species. Functional analysis of the genome of P.carbinolicus is expected to provide important insights into the evolution of the Geobacteraceae, the predominant dissimilatory metal-reducing microorganisms in a diversity of sedimentary environments, as well as aid in elucidating the mechanisms for electron transfer to metals in Geobacteraceae and their syntrophic interactions.
