Query: NC_011837:830436 Clostridium kluyveri NBRC 12016, complete genome
Lineage: Clostridium kluyveri; Clostridium; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Involved in production of caproic acid in co-culture with a methanogen. Clostridium kluyveri was enriched from mud in a co-culture with Methanobacterium omelianskii. When grown on ethanol C. kluyveri produce caproic acid in addition to acetic acid. This organism is able to grow anaerobically on ethanol and acetate as sole energy sources.
Subject: NC_015846:531984 Capnocytophaga canimorsus Cc5 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Capnocytophaga canimorsus; Capnocytophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commensal Gram-negative bacterium from the canine oral cavity that may cause severe zoonosis after dog bites. Capnocytophaga canimorsus is able to escape and modulate innate immunity at several levels and has the unusual property to feed on cultured mammalian cells, including phagocytes.
