Lineage: Paenibacillus; Paenibacillus; Paenibacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Sweet gum stem wood buried in surface soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30 C; Habitat: Host, Wood. Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2 was isolated from sweet gum stem wood buried in surface soil. This organism is able to break down methylglucuronxylan in hemicellulose. Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2 may be useful in the production of alternative fuels from plant biomass.
Subject: NC_007907:3472494 Desulfitobacterium hafniense Y51, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfitobacterium hafniense; Desulfitobacterium; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from soil contaminated with tetrachloroethene (PCE) in Japan. It can efficiently dehalogenate PCEs via trichloroethene (TCE) to cis-1,2-dichloroethene (cis-1,2-DCE). It can also dehalogenase tetra-, penta-, and hexachloroethanes. Hydrocarbon dehalogenator. This organism can dehalogenate a variety of hydrocarbons and can utilize fumarate, sulfite, and thiosulfate (but not thiousulfate) as terminal electron acceptors. Some important pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may be degraded by this organism.
