Species code:	BDEBA
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Deltaproteobacteria; Bdellovibrionales; Bdellovibrionaceae; Bdellovibrio (TaxID: 959) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus is a tiny and highly motile delta-proteobacterium that preys on other Gram-negative bacteria. Bdellovibrio bacteriovorus attaches itself to the cell wall of its prey and invades the cell where it goes through a full-life cycle. After it reproduces, the offspring burst out of the cell. Despite its small size, it has a relatively large genome encoding more than 3500 proteins.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of BDEBA entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3583 (256 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3327 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number BX842601 (circular; 3,782,950 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
