Query: NC_009073:1708544 Pyrobaculum calidifontis JCM 11548, complete genome
Lineage: Pyrobaculum calidifontis; Pyrobaculum; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: This organism is a facultatively anaerobic, hyperthermophilic archaeon, first isolated from a hot spring in the Philippines. Pyrobaculum calidifontis cannot use sulfur compounds for anaerobic growth and is only able to grow anaerobically using nitrate as an electron acceptor.
Subject: NC_014328:1 Clostridium ljungdahlii ATCC 49587 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Clostridium ljungdahlii; Clostridium; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from chicken yard waste and is studied for its ability to produce ethanol. This acetogenic species has the ability to convert carbon monoxide into ethanol. The yield of this process has been increased substantially in the laboratory by using a dual-fermentation system. A methanogenic conversion step has also been designed for utilizing some of the waste products generated during the synthetic process.
