Genomic Features of the Bundle-Forming Heliobacterium Heliophilum fasciatum
Microorganisms, 2022 Eight species of heliobacteria have had their genomes sequenced. However, only two of these genomes have been analyzed in detail, those from the thermophilic Heliomicrobium (Hmi.) modesticaldum and the alkaliphilic Heliorestis (Hrs.) convoluta.
