Query: NC_013061:4286913 Pedobacter heparinus DSM 2366, complete genome
Lineage: Pedobacter heparinus; Pedobacter; Sphingobacteriaceae; Sphingobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25 - 30C; Habitat: Soil. Formerly Sphingobacterium heparinum this organism was isolated from soil. This organism is able to degrade heparin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, which are components of extracellular polysaccharides and the cell surface.
Subject: NC_014816:545441 Asticcacaulis excentricus CB 48 chromosome 1, complete sequence
Lineage: Asticcacaulis excentricus; Asticcacaulis; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Isolation: Pondwater; Temp: Mesophile; Isolation: pond water. Asticcacaulis excentricus inhabits aquatic environments and plays an important part in biogeochemical cycling of organic nutrients. This bacterium undergoes an unusual developmental cycle in which a swarming motile cell becomes a stalked cell that is attached to a solid surface. The stalked cell then undergoes asymmetric cell division and produces one flagellated motile daughter cell and one stalked daughter cell. Thus, the asymmetric processes in this organism provide useful models for differentiation and development.
