Query: NC_009380:3563421 Salinispora tropica CNB-440 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Salinispora tropica; Salinispora; Micromonosporaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from coarse beach sand off the Bahamas. An obligate marine actinomycete. Salinispora strains are commonly isolated from tropical marine sediment. Members of this genus produce branched hyphae and require media which contain seawater or sodium. A survey of the cultured species identified over 90 isolates which produce compounds that inhibited cancer cells. These organisms may be a new source of bioactive chemicals for use in disease and cancer treatments. This species produces the chemicals salinosporamide A and B which may be useful for cancer treatment.

Subject: NC_005773:5149768 Pseudomonas syringae pv. phaseolicola 1448A, complete genome

Lineage: Pseudomonas savastanoi; Pseudomonas; Pseudomonadaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This is gram-negative bacterium pathogenic in plants. Characterized as causing halo blight on beans (Phaseolus vulgaris). This bacterium is closely related to Pseudomonas syringae pv. glycinea and Pseudomonas syringae pv. savastanoi and produces phaseolotoxin, which is a phytotoxin. Strain 1448A is a natural occurring rifampicin-resistant mutant strain and contains a non-functional homolog of avrPphE.
