Query: NC_015731:1 Nitrosomonas sp. Is79A3 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Nitrosomonas; Nitrosomonas; Nitrosomonadaceae; Nitrosomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Isolation: freshwater lake; Temp: Mesophile. Nitrosomonas sp. (strain Is79A3) is an aerobic, chemoautotrophic, Gram-negative bacterium isolated from freshwater lake. It oxidizes ammonia into nitrite. Nitrosomonas sp. are useful in treatment of industrial and sewage waste and in the process of bioremediation.
Subject: NC_011060:330437 Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiforme BU-1, complete genome
Lineage: Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiforme; Pelodictyon; Chlorobiaceae; Chlorobiales; Chlorobi; Bacteria
General Information: Pelodictyon phaeoclathratiformeBU-1 was isolated from lake water in 1989. This organism is a phototrophic green sulfur bacteria that inhabits hydrogen sulfide-containing water and freshwater mud, brackish waters and marine environments. This organism forms net-like microcolonies and contains gas vescicles. It is believed that the gas vesicles provide the buoyancy necessary to keep the cell at the optimal depth for photosynthesis.
