Names Chlorobium limicola DSM 245
Accession numbers NC_010803
Background Chlorobium limicola is a green sulfur bacteria. Cells are rod-shaped, approximately 1.0 um wide and non-motile. Photosynthetic pigments are BChl c with chlorobactene as the major carotenoid, or in some strains, BChl e with isorenieratene. Photoautotrophic growth occurs with sulfide and sulfur as photosynthetic electron donors; molecular hydrogen and thiosulfate may be used. In the presence of sulfide and bicarbonate, some simple organic compounds are photoassimilated. Freshwater bacteria without a requirement for sodium chloride. Vitamin B12 is not required for growth. This is the type strain (adapted from PubMed 12892110). (EBI Integr8)
