Description and Significance

Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.

"D. alkaliarsenatis" is best described as an anaerobic, haloalkaliphilic bacteria. The SLSR-1 strain morphology is motile vibrio that stain Gram-negative. TEM showed motility was due in part of a 10 μm polar flagellum

Genome Structure

Describe the size and content of the genome. How many chromosomes? Circular or linear? Other interesting features? What is known about its sequence?


Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle

Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.


Ecology and Pathogenesis

Habitat; symbiosis; biogeochemical significance; contributions to environment.
If relevant, how does this organism cause disease? Human, animal, plant hosts? Virulence factors, as well as patient symptoms.
