Erythrobacter litoralis Phototrophic bacterium Lineage: Bacteria[37515]; Pseudomonadota[11108]; Alphaproteobacteria[4469]; Sphingomonadales[589]; Erythrobacteraceae[161]; Erythrobacter/Porphyrobacter group[22]; Erythrobacter[20]; Erythrobacter litoralis[1]

Erythrobacter.Organisms in this aerobic phototrophic genus are found in marine environments. Members of this group produce bacteriochlorophyll a, which is normally found in anaerobic organisms. One theory to explain this is that the anoxygenic photosynthetic gene cluster was acquired by these organisms via lateral gene transfer. More...Although they require an organic carbon substrate for growth, they are able to supplement a significant fraction of their metabolic requirements with photosynthetically derviced energy.Erythrobacter litoralis.This species was isolated from a marine cyanobacterial mat. The presence of the carotenoids bacteriorubixanthinal and erythroxanthin sulfate give this organism a reddish color. Less...
