Description and Significance
Describe the appearance, habitat, etc. of the organism, and why you think it is important.
Genome Structure
Haliangium ochraceum is an aerobic, obligate halophilic Gram-negative myxobacterium isolated from seaweed collected from a sandy beach in Kanagawa, Japan. Myxobacteria are unicellular bacteria that are characterized by complicated multicellular behaviors, such as feeding, social movement, aggregation, and fruiting body formation, which make them highly unusual.
Properties: Presence of flagella: Yes Human pathogen: No Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
(1.2 to 1.8 μm in diameter)
Cell Structure, Metabolism and Life Cycle
Haliangium ochraceum gains its energy through organic chemical processes. it is known as a chemoorganotroph.
Interesting features of cell structure; how it gains energy; what important molecules it produces.
Ecology and Pathogenesis
The habitat for Haliangium ochraceumis a marine, coastal, sand. The temperature range at which this microorganism exists is at 30 to 35 degrees.
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.
