Names Petrotoga mobilis SJ95
Accession numbers NC_010003
Background Petrotoga mobilis (strain DSM 10674 / SJ95) is a rod-shaped, sheathed , Gram-negative, thermophilic Thermotogales. It grows optimally at 58-60 degrees Celsius and at pH 6.5-7.0. It is able to reduce elemental sulfur to hydrogen sulfide. It is motile with a subpolar flagellation. The cells often appear singly, in pairs or in chains, within the sheath, sometimes with more than 20 small cells per sheath or with a single small cell within a long sheath. Petrotoga differs from the other Thermotogales genera by its higher salt tolerance and 16S rRNA sequence, which shows it to be a distinct lineage within this order. Petrotoga mobilis (strain DSM 10674 / SJ95) was isolated from the hot oilfield water of a North Sea oil reservoir. (EBI Integr8)
