Query: NC_008609:708886 Pelobacter propionicus DSM 2379, complete genome

Lineage: Pelobacter propionicus; Pelobacter; Pelobacteraceae; Desulfuromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Common environmental anaerobe. The genus Pelobacter encompasses a unique group of fermentative microorganisms in the delta-proteobacteria. This species is ubiquitous in both marine and fresh water, and in anaerobic sedmiments. It is able to convert the unsaturated hydrocarbon acetylene to to acetate and ethanol via acetylaldehyde as an intermediate. These microorganisms may survive in some sediments as an Fe(III) or elemental sulfur reducer as well as growing fermentatively as an ethanol-oxidizing acetogen.

Subject: NC_007503:2063451 Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans Z-2901, complete genome

Lineage: Carboxydothermus hydrogenoformans; Carboxydothermus; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This strain was isolated from a hot swamp from Kunashir Island, Russia. Carbon monoxide utilizing bacterium. This organism is extremely thermophilic and can utilize carbon monoxide as the sole carbon and energy source under anaerobic conditions with the production of carbon dioxide and hydrogen gas.
