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_014614:1090000 Clostridium sticklandii, complete genome
Lineage: Clostridium sticklandii; Clostridium; unclassified Peptostreptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This Clostridium (HF strain, ATCC 12662) was initially found associated with Methanococcus vannieli in formate-enriched cultures. After its isolation in pure culture, it was shown that this organism is capable of fermenting amino acids. Biochemical studies have shown that C. sticklandii obtains energy for growth from oxidation-reduction reactions between specific amino acid pairs. Clostridium sticklandii is a Gram-positive bacterium with low (G +C) content that is capable of fermenting amino acids.
