Chloroflexus aurantiacus is a photosynthetic bacterium isolated from hot springs, belonging to the green non-sulfur bacteria. (wikipedia.org)
When grown in sunlight it is dark green. (wikipedia.org)

This organism is thermophilic and can grow at temperatures from 35 °C to 70 °C (94.998 to 158 °F). Chloroflexus aurantiacus can survive in the dark if oxygen is available. (wikipedia.org)
Chloroflexus aurantiacus is thought to grow photoheterotrophically in nature, but it has the capability of fixing inorganic carbon through photoautotrophic growth. (wikipedia.org)
Cells grow preferably photoheterotrophically under anaerobic conditions in the light, but will also grow under microaerobic or aerobic conditions in the dark. (nih.gov)
