Query: NC_009720:1006201 Xanthobacter autotrophicus Py2, complete genome

Lineage: Xanthobacter autotrophicus; Xanthobacter; Xanthobacteraceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Alkene-degrading bacterium. Xanthobacter autotrophicus is a nitrogen-fixing methylotroph, commonly isolated from organic rich soil, sediment and water. This organism uses an alkene-specific monooxygenase to convert propene to epoxypropane. This monooxygenase is also able to catalyze the initial step in the cometabolism of chlorinated alkenes such as vinyl chloride and trichloroethene. The Xanthobacter autotrophicus alkene monooxygenase and other genes involved in alkene degradation are located on a 320 kb megaplasmid.

Subject: NC_014165:2888961 Thermobispora bispora DSM 43833 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Thermobispora bispora; Thermobispora; Pseudonocardiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Decaying manure; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 55 - 65C; Isolation: decaying manure. Thermobispora bispora is a thermophilic actinomycete which is able to grow at 65 degrees C and not at 35 degrees C. This organism forms aerial mycelia which contain longitudinal pairs of spores.
