Lineage: Chlorobaculum parvum; Chlorobaculum; Chlorobiaceae; Chlorobiales; Chlorobi; Bacteria
General Information: Chlorobaculum parvum, formerly Chlorobium vibrioforme subsp. thiosulfatophilum, is a green sulfur photosynthetic bacterium which contains bacteriochlorophyl d and the caratenoid chlorobactene. This organism grows photolithotrophically using sulfide, sulfur or thiosulfate as electron donors.
Subject: NC_010407:2038499 Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. sepedonicus chromosome, complete
Lineage: Clavibacter michiganensis; Clavibacter; Microbacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Causative agent of bacterial ring rot. Isolated from infected potato. This organism was first described and classified in 1914 as "Bacterium sepedonicus" and is considered a major plant pathogen. It is a phytopathogenic actinomycete that causes wilt and tuber rot in potato, which is a plant vascular disease with very high bacterial titers. Pathogenicity is believed to be associated with the presence of two plasmids, pCSL1 and pCSL2. This species is subdivided into five subspecies: michiganensis, sepedonicus, nebraskensis, tesselarius and insidiosus each of which infects specific hosts: tomato, potato, corn, wheat and alfalfa, respectively. Members of the Clavibacter genus are known to produce antimicrobial compounds.
