Lineage: Phenylobacterium zucineum; Phenylobacterium; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from the human leukemia cell line K562. This facultative intracellular bacteria does not appear to alter the replication or morphology of the cell line.
Subject: NC_015707:1911431 Thermotoga thermarum DSM 5069 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Thermotoga thermarum; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria
General Information: Country: Djibouti; Isolation: Continental solfataric spring; Africa; Temp: Hyperthermophile; Temp: 80C. This organism, a member of the Thermotogales, has the characteristic morphology of one or more cells contained in a sheath-like envelope which extends beyond the cell wall. Preliminary sequencing of Thermotogales genomes has identified extensive horizontal gene transfer between these organisms and the Archaea. Thermotoga thermarum does not grow at high salt concentrations (>0.6% NaCL). This organism also produces heat stable enzymes such as endoxylanase, beta xylosidase and alpha arabinofuranosidase which may have commercial uses.
