Query: NC_007712:4067500 Sodalis glossinidius str. 'morsitans', complete genome

Lineage: Sodalis glossinidius; Sodalis; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Sodalis glossinidius is known exclusively in endosymbiosis with tsetse flies. It is maternally transmitted, and is one of the few bacterial endosymbionts of insects that can be cultured successfully in vitro. Genome data reveals a high proportion of pseudogenes in this species, many of which were, in their functional state, involved in defense or transport of carbohydrates and inorganic ions. This suggests a degenerative adaptation to the immunity and restricted nutritional status of the host.

Subject: NC_013422:1604157 Halothiobacillus neapolitanus c2, complete genome

Lineage: Halothiobacillus neapolitanus; Halothiobacillus; Halothiobacillaceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Sulfide-rich natural spa; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30 - 40C. Halothiobacillus neapolitanus is a sulfur-oxidizing, chemoautotrophic, Gram-negative bacterium able to tolerate high concentrations of sulfide. This organism fixes CO2 using a polyhedral body called a carboxysome which contains the primary carbon fixing enzyme, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
