Query: NC_003552:1157294 Methanosarcina acetivorans C2A, complete genome

Lineage: Methanosarcina acetivorans; Methanosarcina; Methanosarcinaceae; Methanosarcinales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This wild-type strain (C2A; DSM2834) is the type strain of this species and was isolated from marine sediment. Anaerobic methane-producing archeon. This organism is a strictly anaerobic, nonmotile, methane-producing Archaea responsible for virtually all biogenic methane production, a process of critical importance as a key step in the global carbon cycle. This process results in the production of significant amounts of greenhouse gas. This organism is also important in production of alternative fuels and plays a role in both agricultural and waste treatment industry. Optimal growth occurs at pH 6.5-7.0.

Subject: NC_009832:3500000 Serratia proteamaculans 568, complete genome

Lineage: Serratia proteamaculans; Serratia; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolated as a root endophyte from Populus trichocarpa. This species is associated with a serious form of pneumonia in humans, and is the causal agent of amber disease in the grass grub. Interestingly, it also contains an inducible activator which promotes the growth of soybeans under greenhouse conditions.
