Complete genome sequence of Rhodothermus marinus type strain (R-10T)

چکیده
Rhodothermus marinus Alfredsson et al. 1995 is the type species of the genus and is of phylogenetic interest because the Rhodothermaceae represent the deepest lineage in the phylum Bacteroidetes. R. marinus R-10(T) is a Gram-negative, non-motile, non-spore-forming bacterium isolated from marine hot springs off the coast of Iceland. Strain R-10(T) is strictly aerobic and requires slightly halophilic conditions for growth. Here we describe the features of this organism, together with the complete genome sequence, and annotation. This is the first complete genome sequence of the genus Rhodothermus, and only the second sequence from members of the family Rhodothermaceae. The 3,386,737 bp genome (including a 125 kb plasmid) with its 2914 protein-coding and 48 RNA genes is part of the Genomic Encyclopedia of Bacteria and Archaea project.

A DnaB intein in Rhodothermus marinus: indication of recent intein homing across remotely related organisms.
A dnaB gene encoding a homologue of the Escherichia coli DNA helicase DnaB was cloned and sequenced in the thermophilic eubacterium Rhodothermus marinus, predicting a DnaB protein that harbors an intein. This DnaB intein is 428 amino acid residues long, has several putative intein sequence motifs (including two putative endonuclease motifs), and is capable of protein splicing when produced in E...
متن کاملCharacterization of carotenoids in Rhodothermus marinus
Rhodothermus marinus, a marine aerobic thermophile, was first isolated from an intertidal hot spring in Iceland. In recent years, the R. marinus strain PRI 493 has been genetically modified, which opens up possibilities for targeted metabolic engineering of the species, such as of the carotenoid biosynthetic pathway. In this study, the carotenoids of the R. marinus type-strain DSM 4252T , strai...
متن کاملA novel type of monoheme cytochrome c: biochemical and structural characterization at 1.23 A resolution of rhodothermus marinus cytochrome c.
Monoheme cytochromes of the C-type are involved in a large number of electron transfer processes, which play an essential role in multiple pathways, such as respiratory chains, either aerobic or anaerobic, and the photosynthetic electron transport chains. This study reports the biochemical characterization and the crystallographic structure, at 1.23 A resolution, of a monoheme cytochrome c from...
متن کاملComplete genome sequence of Staphylothermus marinus Stetter and Fiala 1986 type strain F1
Staphylothermus marinus Fiala and Stetter 1986 belongs to the order Desulfurococcales within the archaeal phylum Crenarchaeota. S. marinus is a hyperthermophilic, sulfur-dependent, anaerobic heterotroph. Strain F1 was isolated from geothermally heated sediments at Vulcano, Italy, but S. marinus has also been isolated from a hydrothermal vent on the East Pacific Rise. We report the complete geno...
متن کاملThe modular xylanase Xyn10A from Rhodothermus marinus is cell-attached, and its C-terminal domain has several putative homologues among cell-attached proteins within the phylum Bacteroidetes.
Until recently, the function of the fifth domain of the thermostable modular xylanase Xyn10A from Rhodothermus marinus was unresolved. A putative homologue to this domain was however identified in a mannanase (Man26A) from the same microorganism which raised questions regarding a common function. An extensive search of all accessible data-bases as well as the partially sequenced genomes of R. m...
