Complete genome sequence of the gliding freshwater bacterium Fluviicola taffensis type strain (RW262T)

Fluviicola taffensis O’Sullivan et al. 2005 belongs to the monotypic genus Fluviicola within the family Cryomorphaceae. The species is of interest because of its isolated phylogenetic location in the genome-sequenced fraction of the tree of life. Strain RW262T forms a monophyletic lineage with uncultivated bacteria represented in freshwater 16S rRNA gene libraries. A similar phylogenetic differentiation occurs between freshwater and marine bacteria in the family Flavobacteriaceae, a sister family to Cryomorphaceae. Most remarkable is the inability of this freshwater bacterium to grow in the presence of Na+ ions. All other genera in the family Cryomorphaceae are from marine habitats and have an absolute requirement for Na+ ions or natural sea water. F. taffensis is the first member of the family Cryomorphaceae with a completely sequenced and publicly available genome. The 4,633,577 bp long genome with its 4,082 protein-coding and 49 RNA genes is a part of the GenomicEncyclopedia ofBacteria andArchaea project.

Major protein profiles of P. fulva DSM 17717T, P. parafulva DSM 17004T and P. cremoricolorata DSM 17059T type strains. The intensity value was determined as an average from all spectra containing that peak and the relative intensities with respect to the base peak in percentage are indicated within parenthesis. (m/z: mass to charge ratio; + and -: presence or absence of the corresponding protein). (PDF 99 kb)
