Lineage: Thermaerobacter marianensis; Thermaerobacter; Clostridiales Family XVII; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Country: Pacific Ocean; Environment: Mud; Isolation: mud from the Challenger Deep in the Mariana; Hyperthermophile; Temp: 74-76C. Thermaerobacter marianensis was isolated from mud from the Mariana Trench in the Pacific Ocean at a depth of >10000 meters.
Subject: NC_008705:3201817 Mycobacterium sp. KMS, complete genome
Lineage: Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium; Mycobacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from creosote-contaminated soil from the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, USA. This microbe, along with some others collected at this site, are able to rapidly mineralize 14C-labeled pyrene. Phylogenetic studies based on the rRNA 16S gene confirmed that strains collected at this site were distinct from one another and also from other known Mycobacterium isolates.
