Query: NC_007969:726086 Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5, complete genome

Lineage: Psychrobacter cryohalolentis; Psychrobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was isolated from saline liquid (12-14%) found 11-24 m below the surface within a forty thousand-year-old Siberian permafrost at the Kolyma-Indigirka lowland in Siberia. Psychrotolerant organism. These bacteria are commonly isolated from low temperature environments, Psychrobacter spp. are cold-adapted organisms that are often isolated from extreme environments such as permafrost or the Antarctic ice. Psychrobacter cryohalolentis, formerly Psychrobacter cryopegella is an psychrotolerant bacterium. This organism can grow at -10 degrees C with rapid growth at these temperatures.

Subject: NC_007204:696972 Psychrobacter arcticus 273-4, complete genome

Lineage: Psychrobacter arcticus; Psychrobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain is part of an analysis of the growth of organisms at and their adaption to low temperature, a study that is being conducted by Michigan State University as a member of NASA's Astrobiology Institute. Insight into how these organisms grow and adapt to life in low temperature environments could aid in understanding transport of microbes through space, either as a contaminant on human spacecraft, or as a passenger on an asteroid or comet.
