Query: NC_012034:1783912 Anaerocellum thermophilum DSM 6725, complete genome
Lineage: Caldicellulosiruptor bescii; Caldicellulosiruptor; Thermoanaerobacterales Family III; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Anaerocellum thermophilum was isolated from a hot spring on the Kamchatka peninsula in Russia. This organism produces thermostable enzymes which can degrade cellulose and starches and may be of use in industry.
Subject: NC_007677:3316540 Salinibacter ruber DSM 13855, complete genome
Lineage: Salinibacter ruber; Salinibacter; Rhodothermaceae; Bacteroidetes Order II; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is an extremely halophilic aerobe originally isolated from saltern crystallizer ponds in Spain. These bacteria can coexist in significant colonies with halophilic archaea under saline conditions. In contrast to other bacteria they do not regulate their intracellular salt conditions through proton pumps, but instead their protein makeup has adapted to be functional under high ionic conditions.
