Names Roseiflexus sp. RS-1
Accession numbers NC_009523
Background Roseiflexus is a filamentous anoxygenic phototroph, one of the green filamentous bacteria. This lineage is placed on the deepest branch of all photosynthetic bacteria. RS-1 was isolated from a microbial mat in Octopus Spring, in Yellowstone National Park, U.S.A. It does not have chlorosomes, which are a type of light-harvesting structure. Comparative genomics indicates that it appears to have the genetic capacity for CO2 reduction via the 3-hydroxypropionate pathway (adapted in part from PubMed 17635550). (EBI Integr8)
