Query: NC_007955:1664998 Methanococcoides burtonii DSM 6242, complete genome Lineage: Methanococcoides burtonii; Methanococcoides; Methanosarcinaceae; Methanosarcinales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea General Information: Psychrotolerant methanogenic archeon. This organism is a strictly anaerobic, slightly halophilic archeon that was isolated from the anoxic hypolimnion (layer of cold noncirculating water below the thermocline) of Ace Lake, Antarctica. Growth occurs at a temperature between 1.7-29.5 degrees C with optimal growth at 23.4 degrees C. In addition this organism requires 0.1-0.5 M NaCl and either magnesium sulfate or magnesium chloride at a concentration greater than 0.01 M for growth.

General Information: Azospirillum are commonly isolated from the rhizosphere and root surfaces from a wide variety of plants. Azospirillum species are considered to be plant growth promoting organisms, producing plant hormones for cell elongation (auxins), cell division and growth (cytokinins) and stem elongation (gibberellins). These compounds contribute to an enhanced uptake of nutrients and water and thus increased plant growth. Azospirillum sp. B510 was isolated from rice in Japan.
