Query: NC_015846:790374 Capnocytophaga canimorsus Cc5 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Capnocytophaga canimorsus; Capnocytophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Capnocytophaga canimorsus is a commensal Gram-negative bacterium from the canine oral cavity that may cause severe zoonosis after dog bites. Capnocytophaga canimorsus is able to escape and modulate innate immunity at several levels and has the unusual property to feed on cultured mammalian cells, including phagocytes.
Subject: NC_014836:2325559 Desulfurispirillum indicum S5 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfurispirillum indicum; Desulfurispirillum; Chrysiogenaceae; Chrysiogenales; Chrysiogenetes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Temp: Mesophile. This is the first cultured species of the proposed new genus "Desulfurispirillum", and the sequencing of its genome will expand the range of experimental approaches that researchers can use to characterize its metabolic pathways for energy production and understand how these pathways are regulated. This organism is notable for its ability to reduce selenate to selenite and further to insoluble elemental selenium, in a process called dissimilatory selenate reduction.
