Query: NC_011296:909558 Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii DSM 11347, complete genome
Lineage: Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii; Thermodesulfovibrio; Nitrospiraceae; Nitrospirales; Nitrospirae; Bacteria
General Information: This thermophilic sulfate-reducing organism was isolated from a thermal vent in Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming, USA. It has the ability to use sulfate, thiosulfate, and sulfite as terminal electron acceptors. Pyruvate can support fermentative growth.
Subject: NC_008340:362000 Alkalilimnicola ehrlichei MLHE-1, complete genome
Lineage: Alkalilimnicola ehrlichii; Alkalilimnicola; Ectothiorhodospiraceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This chemoautotrophic strain was isolated from Mono Lake in California, which contains arsenic and has high pH and salt concentrations. Arsenite-oxidizing bacterium. Alkalilimnicola ehrlichei is capable of growth with arsenite [As(III)] as the electron donor with nitrate as electron acceptor. It may be responsible for production of arsenate [As(V)] in anoxic lake bottom.
