| nitratiruptor tergarcus gen. nov., sp. nov. and nitratifractor salsuginis gen. nov., sp. nov., nitrate-reducing chemolithoautotrophs of the epsilon-proteobacteria isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal system in the mid-okinawa trough. | two novel denitrifying bacteria, designated strains mi55-1(t) and e9i37-1(t), were isolated from deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney structures at the iheya north hydrothermal field in the mid-okinawa trough, japan. both isolates were strict chemolithoautotrophs growing by respiratory nitrate reduction with h(2), forming n(2) as a metabolic product. oxygen (at low concentrations) could serve as an alternative electron acceptor for growth of the isolates. growth of strain mi55-1(t) was observed at ... | 2005 | 15774687 |
| deep-sea vent epsilon-proteobacterial genomes provide insights into emergence of pathogens. | deep-sea vents are the light-independent, highly productive ecosystems driven primarily by chemolithoautotrophic microorganisms, in particular by epsilon-proteobacteria phylogenetically related to important pathogens. we analyzed genomes of two deep-sea vent epsilon-proteobacteria strains, sulfurovum sp. nbc37-1 and nitratiruptor sp. sb155-2, which provide insights not only into their unusual niche on the seafloor, but also into the origins of virulence in their pathogenic relatives, helicobacte ... | 2007 | 17615243 |
| the complete genome sequence and analysis of the epsilonproteobacterium arcobacter butzleri. | arcobacter butzleri is a member of the epsilon subdivision of the proteobacteria and a close taxonomic relative of established pathogens, such as campylobacter jejuni and helicobacter pylori. here we present the complete genome sequence of the human clinical isolate, a. butzleri strain rm4018. | 2007 | 18159241 |
