Query: NC_013119:511500 Brucella microti CCM 4915 chromosome 1, complete sequence
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_014819:25765 Asticcacaulis excentricus CB 48 plasmid pASTEX02, complete
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.
