RESUMO
Red-pigmented strains of non-sporeforming, aerobic, chemoorganotrophic bacteria were isolated from intertidal hot springs in Laugarvík, NW-Iceland. Cells stained Gram-negative and formed pleomorphic rods that often had swollen ends and occurred singly or in filaments. Growth was observed at 40-65 °C (optimum at 60 °C), pH 6-9 (optimum at 6.5-8) and 0.5-5% (optimum at 1-2%) (w/v) NaCl. Strain ISCAR-4553T contained MK-7 as the main respiratory quinone and saturated iso and anteiso branched chains of 17 and 15 carbons as the main cellular fatty acids (83.4%). The G+C content of the DNA is 67.3 mol%. The highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity was with the genus Roseithermus (92.0%) and followed by Rhodothermus, Rubrivirga and Rubricoccus (88-90%). Genome and phenotype comparisons supported the affiliation of the novel isolates and the genus Roseithermus to the family Rhodothermaceae of the phylum Rhodothermaeota. The described isolates are proposed to be classified as representatives of a novel species belonging to a novel genus, with the name Rhodocaloribacter litoris gen. nov., sp. nov. The type strain is ISCAR-4553T (=DSM 110790T = ATCC TSD-179T).

MOTIVATION: Our aim was to create a general-purpose relational data format and analysis tools to provide an efficient and coherent framework for working with large volumes of DNA sequence data. RESULTS: For this purpose we developed the GORpipe software system. It is based on a genomic ordered architecture and uses a declarative query language that combines features from SQL and shell pipe syntax in a novel manner. The system can for instance be used to annotate sequence variants, find genomic spatial overlap between various types of genomic features, filter and aggregate them in various ways. AVAILABILITY AND IMPLEMENTATION: The GORpipe software is freely available for non-commercial academic usage and can be downloaded from www.nextcode.com/gorpipe CONTACT: hakon@wuxinextcode.comSupplementary information: Supplementary data are available at Bioinformatics online.
