Species code:	SYMTH
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Firmicutes; Clostridia; Clostridiales; Clostridiales Family XVIII. Incertae Sedis; Symbiobacterium (TaxID: 2734) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Symbiobacterium thermophilum is an uncultivable bacterium isolated from compost that depends on microbial commensalism. The Gram-stain result indicates that S.thermophilum is Gram-negative whereas the results of the 16S ribosomal DNA phylogenic study indicates that it belongs to the Gram-positive group. Proteins associated with the S-layer have been identified in S.thermophilum and Gram variability was observed in several S-layer-coated bacteria.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: not known Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of SYMTH entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3315 (354 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 2961 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AP006840 (circular; 3,566,135 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
