Query: NC_002939:2337402 Geobacter sulfurreducens PCA, complete genome
Lineage: Geobacter sulfurreducens; Geobacter; Geobacteraceae; Desulfuromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from surface sediments of a hydrocarbon-contaminated ditch in Norman, Oklahoma, USA. Common metal-reducing bacterium. This organism, similar to what is observed in Geobacter metallireducens, is one of the predominant metal-reducing bacteria found in subsurface communities.
Subject: NC_009828:1530732 Thermotoga lettingae TMO, complete genome
Lineage: Thermotoga lettingae; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria
General Information: Thermotoga lettingae strain TMO was isolated from a methanol-degrading, sulfate-reducing bioreactor. Thermophilic, methanol-degrading organism. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. The oxidation of methanol was more efficient when Thermotoga lettingae was grown as a co-culture with Methanothermobacter thermautotrophicus or Thermodesulfovibrio yellowstonii.
