Organisms

Escherichia coli

Escherichia coli

Scanning electron micrograph of Escherichia coli, grown in culture and adhered to a cover slip.

The strain KRX is used for all approaches. Coding sequences of this organism were used for different purposes: frd - Fumarate reductase Cytochromes

Domain Bacteria Phylum Proteobacteria Class Gammaproteobacteria Order Enterobacteriales Family Enterobacteriaceae Genus Escherichia Species E. coli

Lactococcus lactis

Lactococcus lactis

Scanning Electron Micrograph of Enterococcus faecalis

Coding sequences of this organism were used for the isobutanol production: kivD - α-ketoisovalerate decarboxylase adhA - Alcoholdehydrogenase

Domain Bacteria Phylum Firmicutes Class Bacilli Order Lactobacillales Family Streptococcaceae Genus Lactococcus Species L. lactis

Halothiobacillus neapolitanus

Halothiobacillus neapolitanus

(A) Electron micrograph of Halothiobacillus neapolitanus cells, arrows highlight carboxysomes. (B) Image of intact carboxysomes isolated from H. neapolitanus. Scale bars indicate 100 nm.

Coding sequences of this organism were used for the carboxysome: sap - shell associated protein can - carbonic anhydrase csoS1-4 - shell protein csoS1D - pore protein

Domain Bacteria Phylum Proteobacteria Class γ-Proteobacteria Order Chromatiales Family Halothiobacillaceae Genus Halothiobacillus Species H. neapolitanus

Bacillus subtilis

Bacillus subtilis

The Bacterium Bacillus subtilis taken with a Tecnai T-12 TEM. Taken by Allon Weiner, The Weizmann Institute of Science, Rehovot, Israel. 2006.

A coding sequence of this organism was used for the isobutanol production: alsS - α-acetolactate synthase

Domain Bacteria Phylum Firmicutes Class Bacilli Order Bacillales Family Bacillaceae Genus Bacillus Species B. subtilis

Synechococcus elongatus

Synechococcus elongatus

Synechococcus PCC 7002 in DIC microscopy. Imaging was performed with the Olympus BX61 microscope and a UPlanSApo 100× NA 1.40 oil immersion objective (Olympus). Pictures were acquired at room temperature in water with a camera (SPOT; Diagnostic Instruments, Inc.) using MetaMorph software (MDS Analytical Technologies).

A coding sequence of this organism was used for the carbon dioxide fixation: RuBisCO - Ribulose 1,5-bisphosphate carboxylase / oxygenase prkA - Phosphoribulokinase

Domain Bacteria Phylum Cyanobacteria Class Oscillatoriophycideae Order Chroococcales Genus Synechococcus Species S. elongatus

Actinobacillus succinogenes

Actinobacillus succinogenes
