Query: NC_012913:2189862 Aggregatibacter aphrophilus NJ8700, complete genome
Lineage: Aggregatibacter aphrophilus; Aggregatibacter; Pasteurellaceae; Pasteurellales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Aggregatibacter aphrophilus (formerly Haemophilus aphrophilus) is an etiologic agent in infectious endocarditis caused by gram-negative bacteria. It is often found as a nonpathogenic, commensal resident of dental plaque and the oropharyngeal flora.
Subject: NC_012917:4328463 Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum PC1, complete genome
Lineage: Pectobacterium carotovorum; Pectobacterium; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Host. Pectobacterium carotovorum causes soft-rot diseases of various plant hosts through degradation of the plant cell walls. Formerly Erwinia, these organisms are plant-specific pathogens that invade the vascular systems of plants. Pectobacterium colonize the intercellular spaces of plant cells and deliver potent effector molecules (Avr - avirulence) through a type III secretion system (Hrp - hypersensitive response and pathogenicity). Avr proteins control host-bacterium interactions, including host range. Expression of the plant cell-wall-degrading enzymes is controlled through a quorum-sensing mechanism that quantifies the number of Pectobacterium bacteria through measurement of the concentration of small molecules (acyl homoserine lactones) produced by Pectobacterium.
