Query: NC_009674:3732000 Bacillus cytotoxicus NVH 391-98 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Bacillus cytotoxicus; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolated from a food poisoning outbreak in a nursing home for elderly people in France in March 1998. Under starvation conditions this group of bacteria initiate a pathway that leads to endospore formation, a process that is thoroughly studied and is a model system for prokaryotic development and differentiation. Spores are highly resistant to heat, cold, dessication, radiation, and disinfectants, and enable the organism to persist in otherwise inhospitable environments. Under more inviting conditions the spores germinate to produce vegetative cells. Bacillus cytotoxicus is a member of the Bacillus cereus group, which represents sporulating soil bacteria containing pathogenic strains which may cause food poisoning outbreaks.

Subject: NC_008255:3578883 Cytophaga hutchinsonii ATCC 33406, complete genome

Lineage: Cytophaga hutchinsonii; Cytophaga; Cytophagaceae; Cytophagales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is abundantly found in soil, freshwater, and marine habitats and it is motile by a gliding motility system that does not utilize flagella. Degradation of various recalcitrant organic macromolecules such as chitin, pectin, and cellulose is a hallmark of this organism.
