Lineage: Moorella thermoacetica; Moorella; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Moorella thermoacetica, formerly Clostridium thermoaceticum, can grow on hydrogen and fix carbon dioxide or carbon monoxide with the production of acetate. It is found at the bottom of stagnant ponds and forms extremely heat-resistant spores.
Subject: NC_003047:2798367 Sinorhizobium meliloti 1021, complete genome
Lineage: Sinorhizobium meliloti; Sinorhizobium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Streptomycin resistant derivative of strain 2011. Plant symbiotic bacterium. This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, in this case the alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa). Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.
