Query: NC_008255:3578883 Cytophaga hutchinsonii ATCC 33406, complete genome
Lineage: Cytophaga hutchinsonii; Cytophaga; Cytophagaceae; Cytophagales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is abundantly found in soil, freshwater, and marine habitats and it is motile by a gliding motility system that does not utilize flagella. Degradation of various recalcitrant organic macromolecules such as chitin, pectin, and cellulose is a hallmark of this organism.
Subject: NC_007940:1235250 Rickettsia bellii RML369-C, complete genome
Lineage: Rickettsia bellii; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain (RML 369-C) was isolated in embryonated chicken eggs from a triturated (powdered) pool of unfed adult Dermacentor variabilis ticks collected from vegetation near Fayetteville, Arkansas, USA, in 1966. Transmitted via American ticks. This organism represents the third group of Rickettsial species and is separate from the spotted fever group and the typhus group. This organism is transovarially transmitted in American ticks and shows the largest range of host organisms including Dermacentor and Amblyomma.
