Query: NC_009922:1 Alkaliphilus oremlandii OhILAs, complete genome

Lineage: Alkaliphilus oremlandii; Alkaliphilus; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Arsenate-reducing bacterium. Alkaliphilus oremlandii was isolated from Ohio River sediment, USA. This organism can reduce arsenate to arsenite, making it a potential bioremediation agent. It is a versatile strict anaerobic, spore-forming, low G+C gram positive bacterium that can ferment glycerol, fructose, and lactate, as well as respire arsenate and thiosulfate.

Subject: NC_013967:2760473 Haloferax volcanii DS2 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Haloferax volcanii; Haloferax; Halobacteriaceae; Halobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Haloferax volcanii DS2 was isolated from bottom sediments from the Dead Sea. Halophilic archaeon. This organism is similar to halobacteria and was originally classified in that genus. It has an optimum requirement for sodium chloride in the 1.7-2.5 molar which is half that generally associated with other halobacterium species.
