Query: NC_013446:1889500 Comamonas testosteroni CNB-2, complete genome
Lineage: Comamonas testosteroni; Comamonas; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Comamonas testosteroni is commonly isolated from activated sludge from industrial wastewater treatment systems. This organism has been shown to be able to degrade a number of different compounds including chlorobenzenes, and may be important for the biodegradation of these compounds.
Subject: NC_005303:553500 Onion yellows phytoplasma OY-M, complete genome
Lineage: Onion yellows phytoplasma; Phytoplasma; Acholeplasmataceae; Acholeplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain (OY-M) is derived from a wild-type disease-causing strain (OY-W; onions yellow disease) which was isolated in Saga Prefecture, Japan, in 1982, and shows mild symptoms and does not cause stunting nor phloem hyperplasia (excessive increase in number of cells). Plant pathogenic bacterium. Phytoplasmas inhabit phloem (food-conducting vascular tissue) sieve elements of plants where they cause a variety of diseases. There is great interest in sequencing these organisms since they are currently unculturable and examination of the genome may lead to methods to deal with the diseases they cause including the development of antimicrobial agents.
