Query: NC_014219:83888 Bacillus selenitireducens MLS10 chromosome, complete genome

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

General Information: Isolation: Anoxic muds of Mono Lake California; Country: USA; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water. Bacillus selenitireducens MLS-10 was isolated from alkaline, hypersaline, arsenic-rich mud from Mono Lake, California. This organism can reduce arsenate, selenate, and selenite, making it a potential bioremediation agent. Bacillus selenitireducens produces intracellular and extracellular granules of elemental selenium when grown on selenite. The respiratory arsenate reductase has been purified, and is able to function at high pH and alkalinity.

Subject: NC_008025:1998500 Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300, complete genome

Lineage: Deinococcus geothermalis; Deinococcus; Deinococcaceae; Deinococcales; Deinococcus-Thermus; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was isolated from a hot spring at Agnano, Naples, Italy. Deinococcus geothermalis is a radiation resistant bacterium. This organism has been identified as a primary biofilm former on paper making machinery. The sequence of this organism will provide information on the mechanism and regulation of attachment and biofilm formation.
