Rhodoplanes azumiensis is a thermotolerant bacterium isolated from sediment mud and cyanobacterial mats located in Nakanoyu hot springs, located in the Azumi district, Matsumoto, Nagano Prefecture, Japan. R. azumiensis is a photoheterotroph that is capable of using many organic materials as its carbon source. Colonies and liquid cultures exhibit a brownish red color when grown phototrophically, and are colorless when grown aerobically in darkness.[1]
