Query: NS_000191:120700 Uncultured Termite group 1 bacterium phylotype Rs-D17, complete
Lineage: uncultured Termite group 1 bacterium; enviromental sample; ; ; Elusimicrobia; Bacteria
General Information: Termite gut symbion. Termites harbor a symbiotic gut microbial community that is responsible for their ability to thrive on recalcitrant plant matter. Found specifically within the cells of the cellulolytic flagellate Trichonympha agilis in the gut of the termite Reticulitermes speratus.
Subject: NC_003047:3202125 Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, complete genome
Lineage: Sinorhizobium meliloti; Sinorhizobium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Streptomycin resistant derivative of strain 2011. Plant symbiotic bacterium. This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, in this case the alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa). Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.
