Query: NC_014171:3779956 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_016011:1910638 Listeria ivanovii subsp. ivanovii PAM 55, complete genome

Lineage: Listeria ivanovii; Listeria; Listeriaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Listeria ivanovii is an animal pathogen that causes abortions and stillbirths in ruminants, primarily sheep. This organism produces a number of virulence factors including hemolysin, sphingomylelinase, and phospholipase. Like other Listeria species, Listeria ivanovii is found in soil, water, and sewage.
