Background Dinoroseobacter shibae (strain DFL 12) was isolated from cultured cells of the marine dinoflagellate Prorocentrum lima. The bacteria have unusual pigmentation; they are pink to light red in liquid culture in the dark and beige when grown in the light. On complex solid media they are wine-red. Individual cells grow as cocci 0.3 to 0.7 um in width and 0.3 to 2.0 um in length, surrounded or not by an extracellular polymer. They require minimally 1% seawater for growth. D.shibae is an aerobic anoxygenic phototroph (AAP), that is, it is incapable of anaerobic photosynthesis, and performs efficient photoinduced electron transfer only under aerobic conditions. It contains bacteriochlorophyll a and spheroidenone as its only carotenoid. (EBI Integr8)
