Species code:	CAUCR
Taxonomy:	Bacteria; Proteobacteria; Alphaproteobacteria; Caulobacterales; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacter (TaxID: 155892) [NEWT/ NCBI]
Description:	Gram-negative bacterium living in dilute aquatic environments. Invariably differentiates and divides asymmetrically at each cell cycle. The stalked bacterium adheres to solid surfaces via a holdfast produced at the tip of the stalk. The stalked cell acts like a stem cell, continually giving rise to a new swarmer motile cell at each division. The motile cell has a single polar flagellum. After the period of motility, the flagellum is released and the stalk develops. The swarmer cell is unable to initiate chromosome replication until it differentiates into a stalked cell.
Properties:	Presence of flagella: Yes Interaction: No Number of membranes: 2 Number of inteins:0
Statistics:	Number of CAUCR entries in the UniProt Knowledgebase: 3718 (539 in UniProtKB/Swiss-Prot + 3179 in UniProtKB/TrEMBL)

Genome structure:	Chromosome EMBL accession number AE005673 (circular; 4,016,947 bp) (download entry) (download Genome Reviews).
