Query: NC_015381:3789661 Burkholderia gladioli BSR3 chromosome 1, complete sequence
Lineage: Burkholderia gladioli; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Together with Burkholderia glumae, B. gladioli is a causal agent in rice sheath rot and rice grain rot. The occurrence of B. gladioli has been wide-spread in many countries and considered as potential pathogens for great damage in rice production.
Subject: NC_009831:1539159 Shewanella sediminis HAW-EB3, complete genome
Lineage: Shewanella sediminis; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Shewanella sediminis was isolated from sediment taken at a depth of 215 meters from an unexploded-ordinance-dumping site 50 nautical miles from Halifax Harbor, Canada in the Atlantic Ocean. This organism is able to degrade hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) anaerobically at 10 degrees C. RDX is a member of a family of nitramine compounds which are used in the production of explosives. Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments.
