Query: NC_013222:2795919 Robiginitalea biformata HTCC2501, complete genome
Lineage: Robiginitalea biformata; Robiginitalea; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Robiginitalea biformata was isolated from seawater taken at a depth of 10 meters from the Sargasso Sea (Atlantic Ocean). Although a member of the Flavobacteriaceae, the DNA G+C content of this organism is much higher than for other members of this family.
Subject: NC_003869:74836 Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4, complete genome
Lineage: Caldanaerobacter subterraneus; Caldanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a hot spring in Tengcong, China, and is the type strain for the species. Genomic analysis indicates it is similar to Bacillus halodurans and that it has one of the most biased leading strand distribution of genes. Although the organism has not been observed to be motile or to sporulate, it does contain genes for both functions. The bacterium produces acetate and ethanol from glucose and cannot degrade xylan and cellulose.
