Lineage: Nitrosospira multiformis; Nitrosospira; Nitrosomonadaceae; Nitrosomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Nitrosospira multiformis ATCC 25196 was isolated from soil in Suriname. Ammonia-oxidizing bacterium. Nitrosospira multiformis is a lithotrophic, ammonia-oxidizer, deriving its energy from the oxidiation of ammonia to nitrite.
Subject: NC_008609:2933468 Pelobacter propionicus DSM 2379, complete genome
Lineage: Pelobacter propionicus; Pelobacter; Pelobacteraceae; Desulfuromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Common environmental anaerobe. The genus Pelobacter encompasses a unique group of fermentative microorganisms in the delta-proteobacteria. This species is ubiquitous in both marine and fresh water, and in anaerobic sedmiments. It is able to convert the unsaturated hydrocarbon acetylene to to acetate and ethanol via acetylaldehyde as an intermediate. These microorganisms may survive in some sediments as an Fe(III) or elemental sulfur reducer as well as growing fermentatively as an ethanol-oxidizing acetogen.
