Query: NC_010617:558954 Kocuria rhizophila DC2201, complete genome
Lineage: Kocuria rhizophila; Kocuria; Micrococcaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Kocuria rhizophila was first isolated from the rhizosphere of the narrow-leaved cattail and is commonly found in water and soil. This organism has also been isolated from human skin and is considered to be part of the normal skin flora.
Subject: NC_008705:5144433 Mycobacterium sp. KMS, complete genome
Lineage: Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium; Mycobacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from creosote-contaminated soil from the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, USA. This microbe, along with some others collected at this site, are able to rapidly mineralize 14C-labeled pyrene. Phylogenetic studies based on the rRNA 16S gene confirmed that strains collected at this site were distinct from one another and also from other known Mycobacterium isolates.
