Query: NC_009922:542500 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_000918:1 Aquifex aeolicus VF5, complete genome

Lineage: Aquifex aeolicus; Aquifex; Aquificaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria

General Information: This hyperthermophilic organism grows optimally at 95 C on hydrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and mineral salts. Many of the enzymes this organism produces are studied due to their heat stable nauture.
