Query: NC_003869:74836 Thermoanaerobacter tengcongensis MB4, complete genome

Lineage: Caldanaerobacter subterraneus; Caldanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a hot spring in Tengcong, China, and is the type strain for the species. Genomic analysis indicates it is similar to Bacillus halodurans and that it has one of the most biased leading strand distribution of genes. Although the organism has not been observed to be motile or to sporulate, it does contain genes for both functions. The bacterium produces acetate and ethanol from glucose and cannot degrade xylan and cellulose.

Subject: NC_007503:1383255 Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans Z-2901, complete genome

Lineage: Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans; Carboxydothermus; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a hot swamp from Kunashir Island, Russia. Carbon monoxide utilizing bacterium. This organism is extremely thermophilic and can utilize carbon monoxide as the sole carbon and energy source under anaerobic conditions with the production of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas.
