Lineage: Frankia; Frankia; Frankiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated at the Kettering Research Laboratory in Ohio, USA by M. Lalonde in 1978. It is resistant to lincomycin, kasugamycin, novobiocin, and, like many actinomycetes, to nalidixic acid. This strain is also resistant to elevated levels of lead, chromate, and arsenate.
Subject: NC_008578:889907 Acidothermus cellulolyticus 11B, complete genome
Lineage: Acidothermus cellulolyticus; Acidothermus; Acidothermaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is a thermotolerant cellulolytic actinomycete that was originally isolated from an acidic hot spring in Yellowstone National Park. A number of thermostable endoglucanases are produced by this organism, which are useful for degrading cellulose in the production of ethanol as a biofuel.
