Query: NC_013851:759500 Allochromatium vinosum DSM 180 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Allochromatium vinosum; Allochromatium; Chromatiaceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Ditch water; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25C; Habitat: Fresh water. Allochromatium vinosum, formerly Chromatium vinosum, is a sulfur-oxidizing anoxygenic phototroph. These organisms use sulfur compounds as electron donors and often contain internal sulfur deposits.
Subject: NC_014355:1461355 Candidatus Nitrospira defluvii, complete genome
Lineage: Nitrospira defluvii; Nitrospira; Nitrospiraceae; Nitrospirales; Nitrospirae; Bacteria
General Information: This nitrite-oxidizing bacterium was found through enrichment from activated sludge from a municipal wastewater treatment plant. Phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences revealed that the enriched bacteria represented a novel Nitrospira species closely related to uncultured Nitrospira-like bacteria previously found in wastewater treatment plants and nitrifying bioreactors.
