Citricoccus nitrophenolicus
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?
Metabolism and Life Cycle
heterotrophs, anaerobically and microaerobically
require sulfur, thiosulfate or sulfate as electron acceptors
isolates grew well in yeast extract (carbon source)
other sugars worked, but not as well (glycogen, gelatin, etc.)
large amounts of tetraether core lipids and trace amounts of diether core lipids.
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.
