Lineage: uncultured Termite group 1 bacterium; enviromental sample; ; ; Elusimicrobia; Bacteria
General Information: The Termite Group 1 (TG1) bacteria are a dominant group in termite guts, where they are part of the symbiotic microbial community that is required for the termite to thrive. The TG1 bacteria are found as intracellular symbionts of various cellulolytic protists.
Subject: NC_006449:5046 Streptococcus thermophilus CNRZ1066, complete genome
Lineage: Streptococcus thermophilus; Streptococcus; Streptococcaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from yogurt in France. Lactic acid producing bacterium used in cheese and yogert production. Streptococci are Gram-positive, nonmotile, nonsporeforming, catalase-negative cocci that occur in pairs or chains. Members of this genus vary widely in pathogenic potential. Most streptococci are facultative anaerobes, and some are obligate anaerobes. Serologic grouping is based on antigenic differences in cell wall carbohydrates, in cell wall pili-associated protein, and in the polysaccharide capsule in group B streptococci. This organism is a lactic acid bacteria often used as a starter culture for fermented dairy products including yogurt and cheese.
