'The All-Species Living Tree' Project

The All-Species Living Tree' Project is a collaboration between various academic groups/institutes, such as ARB, SILVA rRNA database project, and LPSN, with the aim of assembling a database of 16S rRNA sequences of all validly published species of Bacteria and Archaea.

Absorption spectroscopy

Absorption spectroscopy is spectroscopy that involves techniques that measure the absorption of electromagnetic radiation, as a function of frequency or wavelength, due to its interaction with a sample.

See Heliobacteria and Absorption spectroscopy

Aerobic organism

An aerobic organism or aerobe is an organism that can survive and grow in an oxygenated environment.

See Heliobacteria and Aerobic organism

Anaerobic organism

An anaerobic organism or anaerobe is any organism that does not require molecular oxygen for growth.

See Heliobacteria and Anaerobic organism

Bacillota (synonym Firmicutes) is a phylum of bacteria, most of which have gram-positive cell wall structure.

See Heliobacteria and Bacillota

Bacteriochlorophyll

Bacteriochlorophylls (BChl) are photosynthetic pigments that occur in various phototrophic bacteria.

See Heliobacteria and Bacteriochlorophyll

Biological pigment

Biological pigments, also known simply as pigments or biochromes, are substances produced by living organisms that have a color resulting from selective color absorption.

See Heliobacteria and Biological pigment

Calcium

Calcium is a chemical element; it has symbol Ca and atomic number 20.

See Heliobacteria and Calcium

Cell membrane

The cell membrane (also known as the plasma membrane or cytoplasmic membrane, and historically referred to as the plasmalemma) is a biological membrane that separates and protects the interior of a cell from the outside environment (the extracellular space).

See Heliobacteria and Cell membrane

Clostridia

The Clostridia are a highly polyphyletic class of Bacillota, including Clostridium and other similar genera.

See Heliobacteria and Clostridia

Dipicolinic acid

Dipicolinic acid (pyridine-2,6-dicarboxylic acid or PDC and DPA) is a chemical compound which plays a role in the heat resistance of bacterial endospores.

See Heliobacteria and Dipicolinic acid

Ecological niche

In ecology, a niche is the match of a species to a specific environmental condition.

See Heliobacteria and Ecological niche

Endospore

An endospore is a dormant, tough, and non-reproductive structure produced by some bacteria in the phylum Bacillota.

See Heliobacteria and Endospore

Fermentation

Fermentation is a metabolic process that produces chemical changes in organic substances through the action of enzymes.

See Heliobacteria and Fermentation

Genome Taxonomy Database

The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) is an online database that maintains information on a proposed nomenclature of prokaryotes, following a phylogenomic approach based on a set of conserved single-copy proteins.

See Heliobacteria and Genome Taxonomy Database

Genus

Genus (genera) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family as used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses.

See Heliobacteria and Genus

Gram-positive bacteria

In bacteriology, gram-positive bacteria are bacteria that give a positive result in the Gram stain test, which is traditionally used to quickly classify bacteria into two broad categories according to their type of cell wall.

See Heliobacteria and Gram-positive bacteria

Green sulfur bacteria

The green sulfur bacteria are a phylum, Chlorobiota, of obligately anaerobic photoautotrophic bacteria that metabolize sulfur. Heliobacteria and green sulfur bacteria are phototrophic bacteria.

See Heliobacteria and Green sulfur bacteria

Helicobacter

Helicobacter is a genus of gram-negative bacteria possessing a characteristic helical shape.

See Heliobacteria and Helicobacter

Heliorestis

Heliorestis is an alkaliphilic genus of bacteria from the family of Heliobacteriaceae. Heliobacteria and Heliorestis are Eubacteriales.

See Heliobacteria and Heliorestis

Hot spring

A hot spring, hydrothermal spring, or geothermal spring is a spring produced by the emergence of geothermally heated groundwater onto the surface of the Earth.

See Heliobacteria and Hot spring

List of bacteria genera

This article lists the genera of the bacteria.

List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature

List of Prokaryotic names with Standing in Nomenclature (LPSN) is an online database that maintains information on the naming and taxonomy of prokaryotes, following the taxonomy requirements and rulings of the International Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes.

Mutualism (biology)

Mutualism describes the ecological interaction between two or more species where each species has a net benefit.

Nitrogen fixation

Nitrogen fixation is a chemical process by which molecular dinitrogen is converted into ammonia.

See Heliobacteria and Nitrogen fixation

Obligate anaerobe

Obligate anaerobes are microorganisms killed by normal atmospheric concentrations of oxygen (20.95% O2).

See Heliobacteria and Obligate anaerobe

Oxygen

Oxygen is a chemical element; it has symbol O and atomic number 8.

Paddy field

A paddy field is a flooded field of arable land used for growing semiaquatic crops, most notably rice and taro.

See Heliobacteria and Paddy field

Photoheterotroph

Photoheterotrophs (Gk: photo.

See Heliobacteria and Photoheterotroph

Photosynthetic reaction centre

A photosynthetic reaction center is a complex of several proteins, pigments, and other co-factors that together execute the primary energy conversion reactions of photosynthesis.

See Heliobacteria and Photosynthetic reaction centre

Phototroph

Phototrophs are organisms that carry out photon capture to produce complex organic compounds (e.g. carbohydrates) and acquire energy.
