Query: NC_014171:4933200 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_008255:3578883 Cytophaga hutchinsonii ATCC 33406, complete genome

Lineage: Cytophaga hutchinsonii; Cytophaga; Cytophagaceae; Cytophagales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is abundantly found in soil, freshwater, and marine habitats and it is motile by a gliding motility system that does not utilize flagella. Degradation of various recalcitrant organic macromolecules such as chitin, pectin, and cellulose is a hallmark of this organism.
