HAMAP: Thermosipho melanesiensis (strain BI429 / DSM 12029) complete proteome
General information

Species:  Thermosipho melanesiensis (strain BI429 / DSM 12029)
Species code: THEM4
Taxonomy: Bacteria; Thermotogae; Thermotogales; Thermotogaceae; Thermosipho (TaxID: 391009) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description: Thermosipho melanesiensis (strain BI429 / DSM 12029) is a Gram-negative, thermophilic, anaerobic rod-shaped bacterium. It occurs generally singly or in pair. It possesses an outer sheath-like structure characteristic of the order Thermotogales. It grows between 45 and 89 Celsius degrees with an optimum at 70 degrees. Its optimal pH is 6.5 and optimal salinity is 30 grams of NaCl per liter. The type strain BI429 / DSM 12029 was isolated from the gills of a deep-sea vent hydrothermal mussel, Bathymodiolus brevior from the Lau Basin in the Southwestern Pacific Ocean. As its minimal growth temperature is 45 degrees, it was dormant in the gills of B. brevior.
