The Complete Genome Sequence of Roseobacter denitrificans Reveals a Mixotrophic Rather than Photosynthetic Metabolism▿ †

Swingley, Wesley D., Sadekar, Sumedha, Mastrian, Stephen D., Matthies, Heather J., Hao, Jicheng, Ramos, Hector, ...

Purple aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs (AAPs) are the only organisms known to capture light energy to enhance growth only in the presence of oxygen but do not produce oxygen. The highly adaptive AAPs...

Niche adaptation and genome expansion in the chlorophyll d-producing cyanobacterium Acaryochloris marina

Swingley, Wesley D., Chen, Min, Cheung, Patricia C., Conrad, Amber L., Dejesa, Liza C., Hao, Jicheng, ...

Acaryochloris marina is a unique cyanobacterium that is able to produce chlorophyll d as its primary photosynthetic pigment and thus efficiently use far-red light for photosynthesis. Acaryochloris...

The Genome of Heliobacterium modesticaldum, a Phototrophic Representative of the Firmicutes Containing the Simplest Photosynthetic Apparatus▿ †

Sattley, W. Matthew, Madigan, Michael T., Swingley, Wesley D., Cheung, Patricia C., Clocksin, Kate M., Conrad, Amber L., ...

Despite the fact that heliobacteria are the only phototrophic representatives of the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, genomic analyses of these organisms have yet to be reported. Here we describe the...
