Query: UCMB5137:276121 Bacillus atrophaeus UCMB-5137
Lineage: Bacillus atrophaeus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Rhizosphere; Ukraine. Bacillus atrophaeus UCMB-5137 shows an extraordinary activity in root colonization and plant and crop protection. Isolated from grass rhizosphere in Ukraine in 1976. Ability to colonize plant roots and to inhibit the growth of fungal and bacterial phytopathogens on inoculated seedlings and harvested fruits.
Subject: NC_015707:826649 Thermotoga thermarum DSM 5069 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Thermotoga thermarum; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria
General Information: Country: Djibouti; Isolation: Continental solfataric spring; Africa; Temp: Hyperthermophile; Temp: 80C. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. Preliminary sequencing of Thermotogales genomes has identified extensive horizontal gene transfer between these organisms and the Archaea. Thermotoga thermarum does not grow at high salt concentrations (>0.6% NaCL). This organism also produces heat stable enzymes such as endoxylanase, beta xylosidase and alpha arabinofuranosidase which may have commercial uses.
