Lineage: Jannaschia; Jannaschia; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from Pacific coastal seawater in 2003. CCS1 is an aerobic anoxygenic phototroph (AAnP), using bacteriochlorophyll a to harvest energy from light without formation of oxygen.
Subject: NC_008781:2883968 Polaromonas naphthalenivorans CJ2, complete genome
Lineage: Polaromonas naphthalenivorans; Polaromonas; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Naphthalene-degrading bacterium. Polaromonas naphthalenivorans was isolated from naphthalene-contaminated, freshwater sediment. This organism is capable of aerobic degradation of naphthalene at temperatures of less than 20 degrees C. Naphthalene is a polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH). PAHs can be toxic and/or carcinogenic, therefore PAH contamination is of considerable concern.
