Query: NC_000911:2043938 Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803, complete genome
Lineage: Synechocystis; Synechocystis; ; Chroococcales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This cyanobacterium was isolated from a freshwater lake in 1968 and is easily transformed by exogenous DNA. The photosynthetic apparatus is very similar to the one found in plants. This organism also exhibits phototactic movement.
Subject: NC_009053:1257302 Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae L20, complete genome
Lineage: Actinobacillus pleuropneumoniae; Actinobacillus; Pasteurellaceae; Pasteurellales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is an obligate parasite of pigs. The bacterium colonizes and invades the porcine lower respiratory tract and can survive phagocytosis by macrophages, eventually resulting in the death of the macrophage cell. Three RTS toxins, which result in cell damage, are produced by this organism.
