Complete genome sequence of Hydrogenobacter thermophilus type strain (TK-6T)

چکیده
Hydrogenobacter thermophilus Kawasumi et al. 1984 is the type species of the genus Hydrogenobacter. H. thermophilus was the first obligate autotrophic organism reported among aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacteria. Strain TK-6(T) is of interest because of the unusually efficient hydrogen-oxidizing ability of this strain, which results in a faster generation time compared to other autotrophs. It is also able to grow anaerobically using nitrate as an electron acceptor when molecular hydrogen is used as the energy source, and able to aerobically fix CO(2)via the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle. This is the fifth completed genome sequence in the family Aquificaceae, and the second genome sequence determined from a strain derived from the original isolate. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence and annotation. The 1,742,932 bp long genome with its 1,899 protein-coding and 49 RNA genes is a part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

Complete genome sequence of the thermophilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6.
Hydrogenobacter thermophilus is a thermophilic, obligately chemolithoautotrophic and aerobic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium. It is unique in its ability to fix carbon dioxide via the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle under aerobic conditions. It utilizes molecular hydrogen, elemental sulfur, or thiosulfate as the sole energy source. Here, we report the complete genome sequence of H. thermophilus...
متن کاملAmino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from a thermophilic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus.
The complete amino acid sequence of cytochrome c-552 from an extremely thermophilic hydrogen bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6 (IAM 12695), was determined. It is a single polypeptide chain of 80 residues, and its molecular weight, including heme, was calculated to be 7,599. The sequence of cytochrome c-552 from H. thermophilus TK-6 closely resembles that of cytochromes c-551 from Pse...
متن کاملGene structure and expression profile of cytochrome bc nitric oxide reductase from Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6.
The genes for a nitric oxide reductase-like cytochrome bc complex were cloned from a thermophilic, chemolithoautotrophic hydrogen-oxidizing bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6. The structural genes norC and norB, which encode cytochrome c and cytochrome b subunits of the complex respectively, are probably transcribed as a tricistronic operon with a following gene encoding a putative me...
متن کاملA soluble NADH-dependent fumarate reductase in the reductive tricarboxylic acid cycle of Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6.
Fumarate reductase (FRD) is an enzyme that reduces fumarate to succinate. In many organisms, it is bound to the membrane and uses electron donors such as quinol. In this study, an FRD from a thermophilic chemolithoautotrophic bacterium, Hydrogenobacter thermophilus TK-6, was purified and characterized. FRD activity using NADH as an electron donor was not detected in the membrane fraction but wa...
متن کاملChemical structure of a novel aminophospholipid from Hydrogenobacter thermophilus strain TK-6.
The phospholipid composition of Hydrogenobacter thermophilus strain TK-6, an obligately chemolithoautotrophic, extremely thermophilic hydrogen bacterium, was analyzed. Two of four phospholipids detected from the strain were assumed to be phosphatidylinositol and phosphatidylglycerol. An aminophospholipid named PX, whose content among the phospholipids was 65%, was found to have a novel chemical...
