Query: NC_007205:841818 Candidatus Pelagibacter ubique HTCC1062, complete genome
Lineage: Pelagibacter ubique; Pelagibacter; Pelagibacteraceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: They were originally named SAR11 and known only from their rRNA genes, which were first identified in environmental samples from the Sargasso Sea in 1990. P. ubique are possibly the most numerous bacteria in the world.
Subject: NC_010981:1053533 Wolbachia pipientis, complete genome
Lineage: Wolbachia endosymbiont of Culex quinquefasciatus; Wolbachia; Anaplasmataceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterial endosymbiont was isolated from the preblastoderm embryos of the Pel strain of Culex quinquefasciatus mosquitoes. This group of bacteria are associated with a variety of invertebrate species, some as pathogens, some in a symbiotic or other type of relationship. Typically these organisms are transmitted maternally from mother to daughter transovarially (through the egg) although these bacteria can affect their hosts reproductive capabilities in order to enhance transmission. The net outcome is the increase of hosts carrying the bacteria in the next generation, thereby increasing transmission.
