7% and an HSP coverage of 97.2%. The most frequently occurring keywords within the labels of all environmental samples which yielded hits were ‘soil’ (5.9%), ‘sediment’ (2.5%), ‘microbi’ (1.8%), ‘enrich’ (1.5%) and ‘vent’ (1.3%) (145 hits in total). The most frequently occurring keyword within the labels of those environmental research use only samples which yielded hits of a higher score than the highest scoring species was ‘atta, biomass-degrad, capac, colombica, coloni, fungu, garden, herbivor, insect, microbiom, plant, top’ (8.3%) (6 hits in total), reflecting some of the known features of the strain��s origin. Figure 1 shows the phylogenetic neighborhood of F. aurantia in a 16S rRNA based tree.

The sequences of the four identical 16S rRNA gene copies in the genome differ by one nucleotide from the previously published 16S rRNA sequence (“type”:”entrez-nucleotide”,”attrs”:”text”:”AB091194″,”term_id”:”40645137″,”term_text”:”AB091194″AB091194). Figure 1 Phylogenetic tree highlighting the position of F. aurantia relative to the type strains of the other species within the family Xanthomonadaceae. The tree was inferred from 1,431 aligned characters [8,9] of the 16S rRNA gene sequence under the maximum … Table 1 Classification and general features of F. aurantia Kond? 67T according to the MIGS recommendations [15] (published by the Genome Standards Consortium [16]) and NamesforLife [17]. F. aurantia Kond? 67T cells stain Gram-negative [1], were straight rod shaped, 0.5-0.7 ��m in width and 0.7-3.5 ��m in length (Figure 2) [1] and motile via polar flagella [1] (not visible in Figure 2).

Cells occur singly or in pairs, rarely in filaments [1]. Cultures grow in dark, glistening, flat colonies with a soluble brown pigment [1]. They are oxidase positive and catalase negative [1]; physiological features and antibiotic susceptibilities were reported in great detail in [1]. Cells grow well at pH 3.6 and 34��C [1]. Figure 2 Scanning electron micrograph of F. aurantia Kond? 67T Chemotaxonomy Besides trace amounts of diploptene and rearranged compounds like fern-7-ene [3], the main lipids isolated from DSM 6220T are iso-branched fatty acids and triterpenoids of the hopane family, such as bacteriohopanetetrol and derived hopanoid. The organism also produces ubiquinone Q8 [27]. Genome sequencing and annotation Genome project history This organism was selected for sequencing on the basis of its phylogenetic position [28], and is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project Carfilzomib [29]. The genome project is deposited in the Genomes On Line Database [14] and the complete genome sequence is deposited in GenBank.
