Hello, I remember that a long time back data about bacterial morphology, environment and growth temperate (thermophile or mesophile) used to be available from NCBI genomes ftp site. The site is also mentioned in the methods section of one of the papers papers . This data is still available on the web page (for example for e.coli here . I am unable to find it in the ftp site as the link is dead. Would be grateful if someone knows the new location in the FTP site of NCBI. Many Thanks!
As to environmental bacteria, see my answer to this post:
where can I get environmental bacteria genome in fasta format (as many as possible)?
Bacterial phenotype:
Is there a free database of bacterial phenotype information by species name?
Temperature Sensitivity: I didn't find any links for all bacteria, just some separate papers.

I use bioproject xml for such purpose. ftp://ftp.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/bioproject/
you need plenty of RAM to parse xml, though.
