They can form symbiotic relationships with other organisms, mostly marine invertebrates like mussels and worms. They help these organisms survive in environments lacking nutrients by performing sulfur oxidation which provides them with…
The Thiotrichaceae are a family of Pseudomonadota, including Thiomargarita namibiensis, the largest known bacterium. [1 ] Some species move by gliding, Thiospira by using flagella. [1 ]
They inhabit both marine and freshwater environments, forming vast communities off the Pacific coast of South America and in other areas with a high organic matter sedimentation and bottom waters rich in nitrate and poor in oxygen. [2 ] [3…
Do r. 2022 byla považována za největší bakterii (a zároveň největší prokaryotní organismus), která kdy byla objevena (než ji překonala řádově větší příbuzná Thiomargarita magnifica, velká až 2 cm! [1 ] [2 ]). Může totiž dorůstat délky až…
However, not all pathogens rely on vectors. For example, the Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a bloodborne viral pathogen transmitted primarily through direct blood-to-blood contact, including contaminated needles or medical equipment.
Thiomargarita is a genus (family Thiotrichaceae) which includes the vacuolate sulfur bacteria species Thiomargarita namibiensis, Candidatus Thiomargarita nelsonii, and Ca. Thiomargarita joergensii. [4 ] In 2022, scientists working in a…
