Query: NC_007626:3393940 Magnetospirillum magneticum AMB-1, complete genome
Lineage: Magnetospirillum magneticum; Magnetospirillum; Rhodospirillaceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from pond water in Tokyo, Japan. Magnetic particles from Magnetospirillum magneticum have been used in DNA and RNA isolation procedures. The typical habitat of Magnetospirillum consists of shallow fresh water and sediments.
Subject: NC_007760:2175992 Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans 2CP-C, complete genome
Lineage: Anaeromyxobacter dehalogenans; Anaeromyxobacter; Myxococcaceae; Myxococcales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain differs from other isolates based on the combination of its ability to use 2,5-dichlorophenol and its inability to use nitrate as a strong electron acceptor. It can also dechlorinate 2,4-dichlorophenol and 2,4,6-trichlorophenol much faster than other isolates. Can dehalogenate chlorinated phenols. This anaerobic species was originally isolated by enrichment and isolation of single plate-grown colonies, and was the first pure culture of myxobacteria able to grow anaerobically.
