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_014836:33278 Desulfurispirillum indicum S5 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfurispirillum indicum; Desulfurispirillum; Chrysiogenaceae; Chrysiogenales; Chrysiogenetes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Temp: Mesophile. This is the first cultured species of the proposed new genus "Desulfurispirillum", and the sequencing of its genome will expand the range of experimental approaches that researchers can use to characterize its metabolic pathways for energy production and understand how these pathways are regulated. This organism is notable for its ability to reduce selenate to selenite and further to insoluble elemental selenium, in a process called dissimilatory selenate reduction.
