Query: NC_012632:1212780 Sulfolobus islandicus M.16.27 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfolobus islandicus; Sulfolobus; Sulfolobaceae; Sulfolobales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: This strain was isolated from a hot spring on the Kamchatka Penninsula, in the Russian Far East. Hyperthermophilic acidophilic sulfur-metabolizing archeon. Sulfolobus islandicus is a thermo-acidophilic archeae commonly identified in hot, acidic sulfur springs. This organism can grow both chemoautotrophically, using sulfur or hydrogen sulfide, and heterotrophically. S. islandicus can play host to a number of plasmids and viruses which may be useful in developing tools for genetic analysis. In addition, Sulfolobus islandicus isolates from different areas in Russia, Iceland, and the United States have been shown to be genetically distinct from each other making this organism useful for comparative analysis.

Subject: NC_014970:530748 Mycoplasma haemofelis str. Langford 1, complete genome

Lineage: Mycoplasma haemofelis; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria

General Information: Mycoplasma haemofelis, formerly Haemobartonella felis, causes an infectious anemia in cats. Antibiotic treatment can control acute infection, although latent infection persists. This disease is most commonly transmitted by infected fleas, however it may also be transmitted from a mother cat to her kittens, and through bites.
