Query: NC_009997:3583166 Shewanella baltica OS195, complete genome

Lineage: Shewanella baltica; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from the Baltic Sea. A psychrophilic bacterium. This genus includes species that inhabit a wide range of environments and are capable of utilizing a wide variety of electron acceptors during anaerobic respiration including some insoluble metal oxides while using very few carbon sources such as lactate or acetate. This group of organisms have been studied extensively for their electron transport systems. This species is differentiated from other Shewanella spp. based on its ability to grow at 4 degrees C but not at 37, production of N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase, lack of chymotrypsin, and ability to use a variety of complex carbon compounds as carbon and energy sources.

Subject: NC_007969:726086 Psychrobacter cryohalolentis K5, complete genome

Lineage: Psychrobacter cryohalolentis; Psychrobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was isolated from saline liquid (12-14%) found 11-24 m below the surface within a forty thousand-year-old Siberian permafrost at the Kolyma-Indigirka lowland in Siberia. Psychrotolerant organism. These bacteria are commonly isolated from low temperature environments, Psychrobacter spp. are cold-adapted organisms that are often isolated from extreme environments such as permafrost or the Antarctic ice. Psychrobacter cryohalolentis, formerly Psychrobacter cryopegella is an psychrotolerant bacterium. This organism can grow at -10 degrees C with rapid growth at these temperatures.
