Query: NC_009848:1542978 Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032, complete genome

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

General Information: Bacillus pumilus SAFR-032 was isolated from the Spacecraft Assembly Facility at NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory, USA and produces spores highly resistant to UV radiation. A ubiquitous soil organism. Bacillus pumilus is a naturally occurring, ubiquitous soil microorganism. Commonly found in a variety of food commodities, some strains have developed an increased tolerance to gamma irradiation. This bacterium colonizes the root zone of some plants, where it inhibits soil-borne fungal diseases and nematodes. It is also undergoing evaluation for commercial production of cellulase, an enzyme used for conversion of cellulolytic materials to soluble sugars or solvents.

Subject: NC_012969:2476318 Methylovorus glucosetrophus SIP3-4 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Methylovorus glucosotrophus; Methylovorus; Methylophilaceae; Methylophilales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water. This organism is able to utilize methylamines, potentially significant greenhouse gases, as a sole source of energy. Methylovorus strains are strictly aerobic with respiratory metabolism, are obligate or restricted facultative methylotrophs, and utilize methanol as the carbon and energy source. They are found in activated sludge, mud, soil, pond water and plants.
