Query: NC_009921:3666898 Frankia sp. EAN1pec, complete genome
Lineage: Frankia; Frankia; Frankiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated at the Kettering Research Laboratory in Ohio, USA by M. Lalonde in 1978. It is resistant to lincomycin, kasugamycin, novobiocin, and, like many actinomycetes, to nalidixic acid. This strain is also resistant to elevated levels of lead, chromate, and arsenate.
Subject: NC_010407:1775227 Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus chromosome, complete
Lineage: Clavibacter michiganensis; Clavibacter; Microbacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Causative agent of bacterial ring rot. Isolated from infected potato. This organism was first described and classified in 1914 as "Bacterium sepedonicus" and is considered a major plant pathogen. It is a phytopathogenic actinomycete that causes wilt and tuber rot in potato, which is a plant vascular disease with very high bacterial titers. Pathogenicity is believed to be associated with the presence of two plasmids, pCSL1 and pCSL2. This species is subdivided into five subspecies: michiganensis, sepedonicus, nebraskensis, tesselarius and insidiosus each of which infects specific hosts: tomato, potato, corn, wheat and alfalfa, respectively. Members of the Clavibacter genus are known to produce antimicrobial compounds.
