Query: NC_010465:2582080 Yersinia pseudotuberculosis YPIII, complete genome
Lineage: Yersinia pseudotuberculosis; Yersinia; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environmental bacterium that causes gastrointestinal disease. This organism was first isolated in 1883 by Malassez and Vignal and is termed pseudotuberculosis since it causes lesions in the lung that are similar to those observed during tuberculosis infection. It is ubiquitous in the environment and is a food and waterborne pathogen that affects animals as well as humans by causing gastroenteritis like Yersinia enterocolitica.
Subject: NC_007969:1076287 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.
