Query: NC_014151:30488 Cellulomonas flavigena DSM 20109 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Cellulomonas flavigena; Cellulomonas; Cellulomonadaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30C; Habitat: Soil. A facultative aerobic, chemoorganotrophic, Gram-positive bacterium. This organism produces cellulases and xylanases which are of interest for their potential use in biomass degradation and fuel production.
Subject: NC_018581:32092 Gordonia sp. KTR9 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Gordonia; Gordonia; Gordoniaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from soil at an explosives testing facility. Can transform hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a cyclic nitramine explosive. Many military ranges in the United States and Canada are contaminated with explosive and propellant residues. Of the nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives that exist on these sites, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has a low sorption capacity and can migrate through soil into surface water and groundwater.
