Query: NC_008571:2926067 Gramella forsetii KT0803, complete genome
Lineage: Gramella forsetii; Gramella; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Aquatic bacterium. This species was isolated from concentrated seawater collected from the German Bight in the North Sea, during a phytoplankton bloom. Surface waters were sampled weekly, and bacteria were grown on agar plates enriched with synthetic seawater medium.
Subject: NC_014328:4387303 Clostridium ljungdahlii ATCC 49587 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Clostridium ljungdahlii; Clostridium; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from chicken yard waste and is studied for its ability to produce ethanol. This acetogenic species has the ability to convert carbon monoxide into ethanol. The yield of this process has been increased substantially in the laboratory by using a dual-fermentation system. A methanogenic conversion step has also been designed for utilizing some of the waste products generated during the synthetic process.
