Query: NC_016612:3087615 Klebsiella oxytoca KCTC 1686 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Klebsiella oxytoca; Klebsiella; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium can cause spontaneous infectious spondylodiscitis (SIS), an uncommon cause of low back pain in adults, but most commonly described in children. This species can be differentiated from Klebsiella pneumoniae by its inability to produce indole from tryptophan.
Subject: NC_008825:564392 Methylibium petroleiphilum PM1, complete genome
Lineage: Methylibium petroleiphilum; Methylibium; ; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Methylibium petroleiphilum strain PM1 (ATCC BAA-1232) was isolated in 1998 from the biofilter of a treatment plant in an oil refinery in Los Angeles, California, USA. Strain PM1 is capable of degrading aromatic compounds such as benzene, toluene and xylenes. Methyl tertiary-butyl ether-degrading bacterium. Methylibium petroleiphilum is a methylotroph (able to utilize reduced one-carbon compounds) able to degrade methyl tertiary-butyl ether (MTBE) under aerobic conditions. MTBE is a gasoline additive used as an oxygenate and to raise the octane number.
