Query: NC_007651:3064530 Burkholderia thailandensis E264 chromosome I, complete sequence

Lineage: Burkholderia thailandensis; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This organism was originally isolated from a rice field sample in Thailand. Burkholderia thailandensis is a common soil saprophyte (lives on decaying organic matter in the soil). This bacterium is very similar to the human and animal pathogen Burkholderia pseudomallei but appears to be avirulent. Distinguishing the two organisms is very difficult and may depend on using monoclonal antibodies to detect differences in exopolysaccharide production.

Subject: NC_010617:558954 Kocuria rhizophila DC2201, complete genome

Lineage: Kocuria rhizophila; Kocuria; Micrococcaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Kocuria rhizophila was first isolated from the rhizosphere of the narrow-leaved cattail and is commonly found in water and soil. This organism has also been isolated from human skin and is considered to be part of the normal skin flora.
