Query: NC_000918:1 Aquifex aeolicus VF5, complete genome
Lineage: Aquifex aeolicus; Aquifex; Aquificaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria
General Information: This hyperthermophilic organism grows optimally at 95 C on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. Many of the enzymes this organism produces are studied due to their heat stable nauture.
Subject: NC_008344:1899317 Nitrosomonas eutropha C91, complete genome
Lineage: Nitrosomonas eutropha; Nitrosomonas; Nitrosomonadaceae; Nitrosomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Nitrosomonas eutropha C91 was isolated from a sewage disposal plant in Chicago. Ammonia-oxidizing bacterium. This species consists of ammonia-oxidizing bacteria that catalyze the oxidation of ammonia to nitrite and contribute to the global cycling of nitrogen (a process called nitrification). This obligate chemolithoautotroph is studied for that reason.
