Query: NC_008260:2992813 Alcanivorax borkumensis SK2, complete genome

Lineage: Alcanivorax borkumensis; Alcanivorax; Alcanivoracaceae; Oceanospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This bacterium was isolated from a seawater sediment sample in the North Sea. The species is able to use Mihagol-S (C14,15-n-alkanes) as a principal carbon source. Using n-alkanes as a sole carbon source causes the strains to produce extracellular and membrane-bound surface-active glucose lipids. Phenotypic analysis showed a restricted nutritional profile, high halotolerance, the absence of fermentative metabolism, and a low G+C content. This, in combination with a 16S phylogenetic study, allowed the placing of this organism into a new genus.

Subject: NC_015276:565701 Marinomonas mediterranea MMB-1 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Marinomonas mediterranea; Marinomonas; ; Oceanospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Environment: Marine; Temp: Mesophile. Marinomonas mediterranea is a melanin-producing marine bacterium usually found in association with sea grass. This organism produces compounds which may have industrial uses.
