Query: NC_014171:261952 Bacillus thuringiensis BMB171 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Bacillus thuringiensis; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism, also known as BT, is famous for the production of an insecticidal toxin. The bacterium was initially discovered as a pathogen of various insects and was first used as an insecticidal agent in the early part of this century. This organism, like many other Bacilli, is found in the soil, where it leads a saprophytic existence, but becomes an opportunistic pathogen of insects when ingested.

Subject: NC_011296:909558 Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii DSM 11347, complete genome

Lineage: Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii; Thermodesulfovibrio; Nitrospiraceae; Nitrospirales; Nitrospirae; Bacteria

General Information: This thermophilic sulfate-reducing organism was isolated from a thermal vent in Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming, USA. It has the ability to use sulfate, thiosulfate, and sulfite as terminal electron acceptors. Pyruvate can support fermentative growth.
