Query: NS_000195:1257834 Candidatus Cloacamonas acidaminovorans
Lineage: Cloacimonas acidaminovorans; Cloacimonas; ; ; unclassified Bacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Syntrophic bacterium that is present in many anaerobic digesters. The sludge sample was obtained from an anaerobic mesophilic digester (7,000 m3) at the Evry wastewater treatment plant (250,000 population equivalents), located about 35 km south of Paris, France.
Subject: NC_002607:1868371 Halobacterium sp. NRC-1, complete genome
Lineage: Halobacterium; Halobacterium; Halobacteriaceae; Halobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Chemoheterotrophic obligate extreme halophilic archeon. This microbe (strain ATCC 700922) is an obligately halophilic archeon that has adapted to growth under conditions of extremely high salinity. Motility is via tufts of polar flagella and intracellular gas vesicles are used for buoyancy. This organism grow aerobically and its ease of culturing combined with the availability of established methods of genetic manipulation in the laboratory make it an ideal model organism for study of the archaea.
