Query: NC_007205:1059684 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_018664:2357882 Clostridium acidurici 9a chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Gottschalkia acidurici; Gottschalkia; ; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Clostridium acidiurici is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium that is motile and spore-forming. It can be isolated from almost every soil but can also be found in the intestinal tract of birds. It is able to use purines like uric acid as sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source to build ammonia, carbon dioxide and acetic acid. Unlike most other Clostridia it is a specialist and not able to grow on sugars or different other substrates than purines.
