Query: NC_009953:2808288 Salinispora arenicola CNS-205 chromosome, complete genome

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

General Information: Found in marine sediment, this organism produces cancer-fighting compounds. 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. Salinispora arenicola produces the bioactive compounds staurosporine and rifamycin which may be useful in the treatment of cancer.

Subject: NC_014666:6940532 Frankia sp. EuI1c chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Frankia; Frankia; Frankiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Environment: Host, Plant symbiont, Soil; Temp: Mesophile. Frankia sp. EuI1c was isolated from the Autumn olive, Elaeagnus umbellata. Frankia sp. (strain EuI1c) is an aerobic Gram-positive bacterium isolated from four continents (North America, South America, Africa, and Asia) and different habitats, including dry soils with high salinity levels, steppe-like plains at 900 m, and mountain forests at 3,000 m.
