Query: NC_016893:135845 Wigglesworthia glossinidia endosymbiont of Glossina morsitans

Lineage: Wigglesworthia glossinidia; Wigglesworthia; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is the obligate endosymbiont for the tsetse fly Glossina brevipalpis, Glossina tachinoides, Glossina palpalis palpalis, and Glossina austeni. The tsetse fly is a vector for African trypanosomes, and is the main transmitter of deadly diseases in animals and humans in Africa. The fly feeds on a restricted diet, exclusively consisting of vertebrate blood, and lacks certain metabolic compounds needed for survival and reproduction. To complement this lack in nutrients, the tsetse fly relies mainly on the intracellular bacterial symbiont, Wigglesworthia glossinidia for its viability and fecundity.

Subject: NC_011296:909558 Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii DSM 11347, complete genome

Lineage: Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii; Thermodesulfovibrio; Nitrospiraceae; Nitrospirales; Nitrospirae; Bacteria

General Information: This thermophilic sulfate-reducing organism was isolated from a thermal vent in Yellowstone Lake in Wyoming, USA. It has the ability to use sulfate, thiosulfate, and sulfite as terminal electron acceptors. Pyruvate can support fermentative growth.
