Query: NC_010730:813534 Sulfurihydrogenibium sp. YO3AOP1, complete genome
Lineage: Sulfurihydrogenibium; Sulfurihydrogenibium; Hydrogenothermaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria
General Information: Carbon fixation. Unable to oxidize hydrogen although hydrogen oxidation was thought to be universal in this group. Isolated from near-neutral-pH terrestrial hot springs in Obsidian Pool in Yellowstone National Park, USA.
Subject: NC_011830:259121 Desulfitobacterium hafniense DCB-2, complete genome
Lineage: Desulfitobacterium hafniense; Desulfitobacterium; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This is the type strain for this species and has been isolated from municipal sludge, Denmark. It can dechlorinate chlorinated phenolic compounds such as PCBs and some pesticides. Hydrocarbon dehalogenator. This organism can dehalogenate a variety of hydrocarbons and can utilize fumarate, sulfite, and thiosulfate (but not thiousulfate) as terminal electron acceptors. Some important pollutants such as polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) may be degraded by this organism. Gram-positive, metal-reducing, dehalorespiring.
