  Chloroflexus - MicrobeWiki
Chloroflexus aurantiacus is an aerobic facultative bacterium that can photosynthesize in anaerobic situations with processes that are a mix of both purple bacteria and green sulfur bacteria photosynthesis.
Chloroflexus is a anoxygenic, filamentous, gliding bacterium found in the green non-sulfur branch in the 16s rRNA tree of life (however, not all Chloroflexus are green and unable to use sulfide).
Chloroflexus aurantiacus, which is a facultative aerobic species of Chloroflexus, can do anoxygenic photosynthesis that has characteristics of both green sulfur bacteria and purple bacteria (both of which are not closely related to Chloroflexus) as well as cellular respiration in aerobic environments.

The moderate thermophilic, green gliding bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus contains two alleles for chaperonins
Their function in the cell is to facilitate the folding of numerous polypeptides and to prevent protein aggregation under stress such as heat shock.
Chloroflexus aurantiacus has an optimum temperature for growth of 55°C, but is capable of growth at temperatures up to 70°C. When cell free extracts of  this organism grown at 45°C, 55°C, 60°C and 65°C were analyzed by SDS-PAGE, three distinct protein bands which increased in intensity with growth temperature were detected.

The tetra-heme cytochrome subunit of an apparent molecular mass of 35 kDa was bound to the isolated complex, although such a complex has not been isolated in Chloroflexus aurantiacus since its cytochrome subunit (43 kDa) would be easily lost during the RC isolation.
Three BChl a and three Bphe a were suggested to be bound to a complex as in C. aurantiacus, based on spectral analysis of the complex and the deduced amino acid sequence from the genes for the L and M subunits.
In the region downstream of the cytochrome gene, bchG was found as in C. aurantiacus.

It was found that 1 mm-thick silica gels containing only 0,1% FeCl3 could attenuate UVC by 37:1 whilst still transmitting 85% of visible light (PAR).
Using the primitive green photosynthetic bacterium Chloroflexus aurantiacus as a tool, and natural materials as filters, showed that quartz sand, basaltic sand and calcium carbonate all attenuated UVC much more than PAR.
Chloroflexus aurantiacus forms anoxic stromatolitic mats which grow well under doses of UVC that severely depress growth of unprotected cells of Escherichia coli.
