Question

You have cultivated an unknown organism from a pond sediment sample and have obtained its ssu-rRNA sequence. After running a couple of prelin Chlorobium clathratiforme Chlorobium limicola Chlorobium phaeovibrioides Chlorobium luteolum -Chlorobaculum phaeobacteroides Chlorobaculum limnaeum Chlorobaculum sp, BS3.2m-44-8 Chlorobaculum tepidum Chlorobaculum thiosulfatiphilum Chiorobaculum thiosulfatiphilum Prosthecochloris aestuarli 100-Prosthecochloris indica Prosthecochloris aestuarii Prosthecochloris vibrioformis Chloroherpeton thalassium Chloroflexus aurantiacus Scale: A. How specifically can you identify this organism based on this tree? (1 point) B. Make 5 independent, specific predictions about the properties of your organism. In other words, what should you think you know with reasonable confidence about your organism because of this tree? Names or taxonomy don't count (these aren't prop- erties of the organism), nor do general properties of Bacteria (that you don't need the tree to know). (2 points each)

Explanation / Answer

a)the root of the tree helps in identification of the organism. the end point forms the old ancestor of organism.this helped in identification of organisms

1.thermophilic organism ,

2have tedency to form filaments.

3anoxygenic, phototrophic bacteria

4.found in hot springs under normal to alkaline ph conditions
