Lineage: Caldivirga maquilingensis; Caldivirga; Thermoproteaceae; Thermoproteales; Crenarchaeota; Archaea
General Information: Hyperthermophilic crenarchaeota. Caldivirga maquilingensis was isolated from an acidic hot spring in the Philippines. It is a microaerophilic heterotroph and is able to use sulfur, thiosulfate, and sulfate as electron acceptors.
Subject: NC_008343:2589680 Granulibacter bethesdensis CGDNIH1, complete genome
Lineage: Granulibacter bethesdensis; Granulibacter; Acetobacteraceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from a patient with fever and lymphadenitis. Chronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is a rare inherited disease of the phagocyte NADPH oxidase system causing defective production of toxic oxygen metabolites, impaired bacterial and fungal killing, and recurrent life-threatening infections. This species was isolated from a 39 year old man with CGD and was shown to be the causal agent of the disease by classical methods. The isolation of this organism is the first known case of a bacterium from the Acetobacteraceae family to be the cause of an invasive human disease.
