Lineage: Delftia acidovorans; Delftia; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This species was isolated from soil enriched with acetamide in Delft in the Netherlands. It was originally classified as Comamonas acidivorans in 1926, and redescribed and characterized in 1999. This organism is found in soil, sediment, activated sludge, crude oil, water, and various clinical samples.
Subject: NC_014219:2931796 Bacillus selenitireducens MLS10 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus selenitireducens; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Anoxic muds of Mono Lake California; Country: USA; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water. Bacillus selenitireducens MLS-10 was isolated from alkaline, hypersaline, arsenic-rich mud from Mono Lake, California. This organism can reduce arsenate, selenate, and selenite, making it a potential bioremediation agent. Bacillus selenitireducens produces intracellular and extracellular granules of elemental selenium when grown on selenite. The respiratory arsenate reductase has been purified, and is able to function at high pH and alkalinity.
