Query: NC_008555:444927 Listeria welshimeri serovar 6b str. SLCC5334, complete genome
Lineage: Listeria welshimeri; Listeria; Listeriaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Nonpathogenic bacterium. This organism is a nonpathogenic Listeria found in soil, water, food, and sewage. First isolated from decaying plants. L. welshimeri bacteria are small (0.5 to 2.0 μm), non-spore-forming, gram-positive rods which are motile below 30°C by means of peritrichous flagella.
Subject: NC_002570:388000 Bacillus halodurans C-125, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus halodurans; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Strain C-125 (JCM9153) was isolated in 1977 and is the most well studied alkaliphilic Bacillus organism. Alkaliphilic bacterium. This organism is similar to Bacillus subtilis but is alkaliphilic, grows poorly at neutral pH, and very well at pH >9.5. This bacterium produces a peptidoglycan that contains teichuronic peptides consisting of polyglutamic and polyglucuronic acids that counteract the halophilic environment.
