Query: NC_016023:1658377 Bacillus coagulans 36D1 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_021175:881845 Streptococcus oligofermentans AS 1.3089, complete genome

Lineage: Streptococcus oligofermentans; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: An oral commensal, inhibits the growth of the dental caries pathogen Streptococcus mutans by producing large amounts of hydrogen peroxide. Therefore, it can be a potential probiotic for oral health.
