Query: NC_010320:881351 Thermoanaerobacter sp. X514 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Thermoanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated by anaerobic enrichment culture from a deep subsurface sample (2000 m below the surface) taken from a core hole at the Piceance Basin, Colorado, USA. It can use a variety of electron donors, including glucose, acetate, hydrogen and xylose while reducing iron, chromium and uranium at 60 degrees C.
Subject: NC_014964:388458 Thermoanaerobacter brockii subsp. finnii Ako-1 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Thermoanaerobacter brockii; Thermoanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Lake sediment; Africa, Lake Kivu; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 65C. Thermoanaerobacter brockii is a thermophilic gram positive anaerobe that has been isolated from lake sediment, oil wells and hot springs. This organism ferments hexoses and pyruvate and can reduce thiosulfate to hydrogen sulfide.
