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_007958:830000 Rhodopseudomonas palustris BisB5, complete genome
Lineage: Rhodopseudomonas palustris; Rhodopseudomonas; Bradyrhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Four different strains were isolated from 2 sites, one pristine and one polluted. Environmental bacterium with potential use in bioremediation. This organism has a diverse metabolism and is capable of growth using light, inorganic, or organic compounds as energy sources and carbon dioxide or organic compounds as carbon sources. Commonly found in soil and water environments this bacterium is also capable of degrading a wide range of toxic organic compounds, and may be of use in bioremediation of polluted sites. The bacterium undergoes differentiation to produce a stalked nonmotile cell and a motile flagellated cell. In the presence of light, this bacterium produces a number of intracellular membranous vesicles to house the photosynthetic reaction centers.
