Lineage: Methanocorpusculum labreanum; Methanocorpusculum; Methanocorpusculaceae; Methanomicrobiales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Methanocorpusculum labreanum Z was isolated from surface sediment from the LaBrea Tar Pits in Los Angeles, California, USA. Methanocorpusculum labreanum fixes carbon dioxide, produces methane and is involved in biomethanation processes (wastewater treatment, sewage, landfills).
Subject: NC_015164:493159 Bacteroides salanitronis DSM 18170 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacteroides salanitronis; Bacteroides; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Country: Japan; Environment: Host; Isolation: caecum of chicken; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 37C. This group of microbes constitute the most abundant members of the intestinal microflora of mammals. Typically they are symbionts, but they can become opportunistic pathogens in the peritoneal (intra-abdominal) cavity. This organism produces many extracellular enzymes which assist in the breakdown of complex plant polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose and host-derived polysaccharides such as mucopolysaccharides. Bacteroides salanitronis is a species of strictly anaerobic, non-spore-forming, non-motile, Gram-negative rods. It was isolated from caecum of a healthy chicken.
