Lineage: Nitrosospira multiformis; Nitrosospira; Nitrosomonadaceae; Nitrosomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196 was isolated from soil in Suriname. Ammonia-oxidizing bacterium. Nitrosospira multiformis is a lithotrophic, ammonia-oxidizer, deriving its energy from the oxidiation of ammonia to nitrite.
Subject: NC_008543:127675 Burkholderia cenocepacia HI2424 chromosome 2, complete sequence
Lineage: Burkholderia cenocepacia; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism (HI2424; BCC1) was isolated as part of a study to find this organism in natural environments. Samples taken from fields that were planted with onions in New York in 1999 and 2000 were examined and it was discovered that isolates were the same as ones that can infect CF patients. This species (genomovar III) is part of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, which consists of 9 closely related species, also known as genomovars. These organisms are commonly found in soil and all are opportunistic pathogens espcially in cystic fibrosis patients.
