Query: NC_009253:529494 Desulfotomaculum reducens MI-1 chromosome, complete genome Lineage: Desulfotomaculum reducens; Desulfotomaculum; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria General Information: Uranium- and chromium-reducing sediment bacterium. Desulfotomaculum reducens is able to reduce uranium and chromium making it a potential agent for the bioremediation of heavy metals. This organism was isolated from heavy metal-contaminated marine sediment collected at the Mare Island Naval Shipyard on the San Francisco Bay, USA.

General Information: Edwardsiella ictaluri is the causative agent of enteric septicemia in catfish (ESC), an economically significant disease of farm-raised catfish. The acute form of ESC causes bacterial septicemia (proliferation of bacteria in the blood) which rapidly leads to death. The chronic form of this disease causes a characteristic head lesion, and may also proceed to septicemia and death. Two plasmids, which are consistently present in Edwardsiella ictaluri isolates, have been sequenced. Both plasmids contain genes for the type III secretory system, which is involved in translocating pathogenicity proteins into the eukaryotic cell.
