Genome sequence of the filamentous, gliding Thiothrix nivea neotype strain (JP2T)

چکیده
Thiothrix nivea (Rabenhorst 1865) Winogradsky 1888 (Approved Lists 1980) emend. Larkin and Shinabarger 1983 is the type species of the genus Thiothrix in the family Thiotrichaceae. The species is of interest not only because of its isolated location in the yet to be genomically characterized region of the tree of life, but also because of its life-style with gliding gonidia, the multilayer sheath, rosettes, and the embedded sulfur granules. Strain JP2(T) is the neotype strain of the species which was first observed by Rabenhorst in 1865 and later reclassified by Winogradsky in 1888 into the then novel genus Thiothrix. This is the first completed (improved-high-quality-draft) genome sequence to be published of a member of the family Thiotrichaceae. The genome in its current assembly consists of 15 contigs in four scaffolds with a total of 4,691,711 bp bearing 4,542 protein-coding and 52 RNA genes and is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

HCO(3) Fixation by Naturally Occurring Tufts and Pure Cultures of Thiothrix nivea.
Naturally occurring tufts of the mixotroph Thiothrix nivea blanketed the East Everglades (Dade County, Fla.) Chekika artesian well and runoff areas. The rate of HCO(3) fixation by these Thiothrix tufts was determined to be 14.0 +/- 5.4 nmol of HCO(3) per min per mg of dry weight, which reflected a growth rate of 5.0%/h. The addition of 10 mM glucose, ribose, acetate, or pyruvate or 0.05% Casami...

Fifteen filamentous strains, morphologically classified as Eikelboom type 021N bacteria, were isolated from bulking activated sludges. Based on comparative 16S ribosomal DNA (rDNA) sequence analysis, all strains form a monophyletic cluster together with all recognized Thiothrix species (88.3 to 98.7% 16S rDNA sequence similarity) within the gamma-subclass of Proteobacteria. The investigated Eik...
