Query: NC_010556:71776 Exiguobacterium sibiricum 255-15, complete genome Lineage: Exiguobacterium sibiricum; Exiguobacterium; Bacillales Family XII; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: This organism was isolated from a 2-3 million-year permafrost core in Siberia, Russia and can survive and grow rapidly at low temperatures. Analysis of long-term survival of psychrophilic organisms such as this one may aid understanding of the potential growth of organisms in astrobiology. Exiguobacterium sibiricum is a psychrotolerant organism able to grow at temperatures that range from -6 to 40 degrees C. This organism is also able to survive repeated freeze/thaw cycles which may contribute to its ability to survive in cold environments.

General Information: Mycoplasma hyorhinis HUB-1 was isolate from the respiratory tract of swine. Mycoplasma hyorhinis, though generally considered being a swine pathogen, is found most commonly infecting laboratory cell lines including human cells. Recently, an increasing body of work suggests that chronic infections of M. hyorhinis may cause oncogenic transformation. Infection with mycoplasma is a common problem in cell cultures, with Mycoplasma hyorhinis being the predominant species.
