Query: NC_013118:1109610 Brucella microti CCM 4915 chromosome 2, complete genome
Lineage: Brucella microti; Brucella; Brucellaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Brucella microti was isolated in 2000 from systemically infected voles in South Moravia, Czech Republic and has been more recently isolated from foxes and apparently free-living in soil in Czech soil. The organism is characterized by rapid growth on standard media and high metabolic activity, which is atypical for Brucella.
Subject: NC_014323:3669704 Herbaspirillum seropedicae SmR1 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Herbaspirillum seropedicae; Herbaspirillum; Oxalobacteraceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Root-associated nitrogen-fixing bacterium. Herbaspirillum seropedicae is an endophitic nitrogen-fixing beta-Proteobacteria found associated with important crops such as sugarcane, wheat, maize, rice and sorghum. It is non-phytopathogenic and produces interesting biotechnological products such as polybetaalkanoates and cyanophycin. Herbaspirillum seropedicae was isolated from the roots of rice plants, and is member of a group of free-living soil bacteria known to promote plant growth. The yields of rice and sorghum were significantly increased when grown in soil inoculated with Herbaspirillum seropedicae.
