Query: NC_016610:726128 Tannerella forsythia ATCC 43037 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Tannerella forsythia; Tannerella; Porphyromonadaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is a key agent in the progression of periodontal disease and is involved in bone loss and loss of attachment of teeth. The pathogenic factors involved in this are poorly understood. Unlike other periodontal organism such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, this organism is difficult to culture and the prevalence of the organism in periodontal disease may be underestimated. This organism is synergistic with Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the presence of both accelerates progression of the disease.

Subject: NC_013061:717752 Pedobacter heparinus DSM 2366, complete genome

Lineage: Pedobacter heparinus; Pedobacter; Sphingobacteriaceae; Sphingobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25 - 30C; Habitat: Soil. Formerly Sphingobacterium heparinum this organism was isolated from soil. This organism is able to degrade heparin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, which are components of extracellular polysaccharides and the cell surface.
