Query: NC_014751:946155 Mycoplasma leachii PG50 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Mycoplasma leachii; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria
General Information: Mycoplasma leachii, formerly Mycoplasma sp. 'bovine group 7', was originally isolated from cattle suffering from arthritis and mastitis in Australia. Mycoplasma leachii is part of the mycoides cluster like Mycoplasma mycoides SC and Mycoplasma capricolum, but it can infect both bovine and caprine hosts.
Subject: NC_014817:142976 Asticcacaulis excentricus CB 48 chromosome 2, complete sequence
Lineage: Asticcacaulis excentricus; Asticcacaulis; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Isolation: Pondwater; Temp: Mesophile; Isolation: pond water. Asticcacaulis excentricus inhabits aquatic environments and plays an important part in biogeochemical cycling of organic nutrients. This bacterium undergoes an unusual developmental cycle in which a swarming motile cell becomes a stalked cell that is attached to a solid surface. The stalked cell then undergoes asymmetric cell division and produces one flagellated motile daughter cell and one stalked daughter cell. Thus, the asymmetric processes in this organism provide useful models for differentiation and development.
