Query: NC_009092:179226 Shewanella loihica PV-4, complete genome

Lineage: Shewanella loihica; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain is an environmental isolate from the Naha Vents, Hawaii, in the Pacific Ocean. Psychrotolerant bacterium. This genus includes species that inhabit a wide range of environments and are capable of utilizing a wide variety of electron acceptors during anaerobic respiration including some insoluble metal oxides while using very few carbon sources such as lactate or acetate. This group of organisms have been studied extensively for their electron transport systems. Shewanella loihica is a psychrotolerant deep sea bacterium. This organism is able to reduce iron, manganese and uranium and may be useful for bioremediation at low temperatures.

Subject: NC_011567:204772 Anoxybacillus flavithermus WK1, complete genome

Lineage: Anoxybacillus flavithermus; Anoxybacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Anoxybacillus flavithermus, formerly Bacillus flavothermus, was isolated from a hot spring in New Zealand. This organism can tolerate a pH of up to 9.0. Gram-positive bacteria of the genus Anoxybacillus have been found in diverse thermophilic habitats, such as geothermal hot springs and manure, and in processed foods such as gelatin and milk powder.
