Query: NC_003910:2175305 Colwellia psychrerythraea 34H, complete genome
Lineage: Colwellia psychrerythraea; Colwellia; Colwelliaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from Arctic marine sediments. Psychrophilic bacterium. This obligately psychrophilic red-pigmented organism is often found in sea ice, and can grow in temperatures down to -5 C, remaining motile even at those low temperatures. It can produce extracellular enzymes such as proteases that have activity at very low temperatures.
Subject: NC_009901:1693500 Shewanella pealeana ATCC 700345, complete genome
Lineage: Shewanella pealeana; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This species was isolated from a microbial community colonizing the accessory nidamental gland of the squid Loligo peali (Atlantic squid) for their capacity to respire on sulfur. It was placed in the Shewanella genus based on physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Shewanella are ubiquitous in marine environment and play very important role in global carbon and nitrogen cycle. The present strain is moderately halophilic, requiring sodium ions for growth. Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments.
