General Information: Country: Pacific Ocean; Environment: Deep sea, Hydrothermal vent, Marine; Isolation: deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 65C. Marinitoga piezophila was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent chimney at a depth of 2630 meters on the East-Pacific Rise. This organism grows best at a pressure of 40 MPa. This organism is a member of the Thermatogales and has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall.

Subject: NC_012730:652092 Rickettsia peacockii str. Rustic, complete genome

Lineage: Rickettsia peacockii; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Rickettsia peacockii was initially identified in wood ticks from the eastern side of the Bitterroot Valley in Montana. Cases of Rocky Mountain spotted fever in the Bitterroot Valley are associated with exposure to ticks from the western side. Ticks from the east side are primarily infected with R. peacockii which is nonvirulent and may prevent the establishment of pathogenic Rickettsia species in these ticks.
