Query: NC_015634:359500 Bacillus coagulans 2-6 chromosome, complete genome

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

General Information: Bacillus coagulans, a lactic acid producing bacterium, was first identified as a spoilage agent of milk products. This organism can be used in the production of ethanol and lactic acid from cellulose and hemicellulose acid hydrolysate. Bacillus coagulans also produces other commercially important chemicals like cyclodextrins and amylases, and has been used as a probiotic in animal feed.

Subject: NC_012914:469117 Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2, complete genome

Lineage: Paenibacillus; Paenibacillus; Paenibacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Sweet gum stem wood buried in surface soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30 C; Habitat: Host, Wood. Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2 was isolated from sweet gum stem wood buried in surface soil. This organism is able to break down methylglucuronxylan in hemicellulose. Paenibacillus sp. JDR-2 may be useful in the production of alternative fuels from plant biomass.
