Query: NC_015757:158014 Sulfobacillus acidophilus TPY chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Sulfobacillus acidophilus; Sulfobacillus; Clostridiales Family XVII; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Sulfobacillus acidophilus was first isolated from a coal spoil heap in the United Kingdom. This orgainism is an acidophilic sulfur- and iron-oxidizing bacterium capable of autotrophic growth on iron and sulfur.
Subject: NC_012587:2744731 Rhizobium sp. NGR234, complete genome
Lineage: Sinorhizobium fredii; Sinorhizobium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, such as soybean, cowpea or pigeon pea. Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.
