Query: NC_010321:2256758 Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus ATCC 33223 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Thermoanaerobacter pseudethanolicus; Thermoanaerobacter; Thermoanaerobacteraceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Thermoanaerobacter ethanolicus was isolated from a hot spring microbial mat in Yellowstone National Park. It is a thermophilic anaerobic bacterium, which ferments a wide range of hexose and pentose sugars, as well as starch and pullulan, to ethanol.
Subject: NC_021172:3786725 Hyphomicrobium denitrificans 1NES1, complete genome
Lineage: Hyphomicrobium denitrificans; Hyphomicrobium; Hyphomicrobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Hyphomicrobium denitrificans has a biphasic life style, which consists of a motile phase of flagellated swarmer cells, and a cessile phase in which a long prosthecate is produced at one end of the bacteria through which budding cells emerge. Newly budded cells in turn produce flagella and go through a motile phase and the cycle continues. These organisms can colonize the surfaces of marine environments which enables additional species to colonize at later stages. This organism is also able to utilize methanol as a sole source of energy.
