Query: NC_010730:813534 Sulfurihydrogenibium sp. YO3AOP1, complete genome
Lineage: Sulfurihydrogenibium; Sulfurihydrogenibium; Hydrogenothermaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria
General Information: Carbon fixation. Unable to oxidize hydrogen although hydrogen oxidation was thought to be universal in this group. Isolated from near-neutral-pH terrestrial hot springs in Obsidian Pool in Yellowstone National Park, USA.
Subject: NC_007907:2830574 Desulfitobacterium hafniense Y51, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfitobacterium hafniense; Desulfitobacterium; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from soil contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) in Japan. It can efficiently dehalogenate PCEs via trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE). It can also dehalogenase tetra-, penta-, and hexachloroethanes. Hydrocarbon dehalogenator. This organism can dehalogenate a variety of hydrocarbons and can utilize fumarate, sulfite, and thiosulfate (but not thiousulfate) as terminal electron acceptors. Some important pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may be degraded by this organism.
