Gemmatimonas groenlandica is a bacterium species from the genus of Gemmatimonas which has been isolated from a stream in the Zackenberg Valley in Greenland.[1]
Article body (<--rename this)
editThis species was isolated using a culturomics strategy using a mass spectroscopy-based high-throughput profiling method, along with a rapid screening technique for chlorophototrophs.[1]
The species is an aerobic anoyxgenic photohetertroph; it is the first one of its kind isolated from this phylum. It can also be easily cultured in a liquid medium, which allows for more detailed physiological studies and possible strain genetic engineering in the future.[1]
It has been indicated that this species can be found in a wide variety of environments, except marine ones.[1]
