Query: NC_007426:205390 Natronomonas pharaonis DSM 2160, complete genome

Lineage: Natronomonas pharaonis; Natronomonas; Halobacteriaceae; Halobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Isolated from Lake Gabara in Egypt. Extreme haloalkaliphilic archeon. Natronomonas pharaonis is able to survive at high salt and pH conditions which results in limited nitrogen availability through ammonium. In order to compensate for this, Natronomonas pharaonis has developed three systems to promote nitrogen assimilation: direct uptake of ammonia, uptake of nitrate, and uptake of urea. Another problem with high pH environments is the use of a proton gradient for the generation of ATP, which other alkaliphiles have adapted to by substitution of sodium ions for protons. However, this organism utilizes protons for ATP generation as determined by experimental data.

Subject: NC_015914:2230076 Cyclobacterium marinum DSM 745 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Cyclobacterium marinum; Cyclobacterium; Cyclobacteriaceae; Cytophagales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Coelomic fluid of a sand dollar; Temp: Mesophile. Gram-negative bacterium isolated from coelomic fluid of a sand dollarfish (Poronotus triacanthus) of the family Stromateidae (butterfish family), a family of fishes with almost circular bodies and small mouths. The dollarfish (genus Peprilus), is found from Maine to South Carolina, USA during the summer.
