Query: NC_016052:2201211 Tetragenococcus halophilus NBRC 12172, complete genome
Lineage: Tetragenococcus halophilus; Tetragenococcus; Enterococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Tetragenococcus halophilus is a gram-positive lactic acid bacterium which flourishes in extreme salt environments. It plays a role in halophilic fermentation processes such as the production of soy sauce and fish sauce.
Subject: NC_014836:155924 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.
