Query: NC_015458:3077804 Pusillimonas sp. T7-7 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Pusillimonas; Pusillimonas; Alcaligenaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from the benthal mud of a petroleum-contaminated site in Bohai Sea, China. Gram-negative bacterium isolated from the seabed mud of Bohai Sea, in a petroleum-contaminated region. It is cold tolerant (grows between 4 to 37°C, optimum 30°C), salt tolerant (5% NaCl), and able to utilize diesel oils as the sole carbon source for growth.
Subject: NC_009077:1027357 Mycobacterium sp. JLS, 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, is 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.
