Query: NC_009613:1337536 Flavobacterium psychrophilum JIP02/86, complete genome
Lineage: Flavobacterium psychrophilum; Flavobacterium; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Flavobacterium psychrophilum JIP02/86 (ATCC 49511) is a virulent strain. Flavobacterium psychrophilum cause cold water disease in salmon and trout. This bacterium causes septicemia in young fish (rainbow trout fry syndrome) and extensive lesions in adult fish. There is a high rate of mortality associated with these diseases with considerable economic impact for the aquaculture industry.
Subject: NC_003869:2143892 Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4, complete genome
Lineage: Caldanaerobacter subterraneus; Caldanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a hot spring in Tengcong, China, and is the type strain for the species. Genomic analysis indicates it is similar to Bacillus halodurans and that it has one of the most biased leading strand distribution of genes. Although the organism has not been observed to be motile or to sporulate, it does contain genes for both functions. The bacterium produces acetate and ethanol from glucose and cannot degrade xylan and cellulose.
