Query: NC_011295:1120584 Coprothermobacter proteolyticus DSM 5265, complete genome
Lineage: Coprothermobacter proteolyticus; Coprothermobacter; Thermodesulfobiaceae; Thermoanaerobacterales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from a thermophilic digestor that was fermenting tannery wastes and cattle manure. Coprothermobacter proteolyticus is a nonmotile, non-spore-forming, rod-shaped, Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium. This organism was originally classified as Thermobacteroides proteolyticus and subsequently assigned to the new genus of Coprothermobacter.
Subject: NC_007643:3799425 Rhodospirillum rubrum ATCC 11170, complete genome
Lineage: Rhodospirillum rubrum; Rhodospirillum; Rhodospirillaceae; Rhodospirillales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium can grow using carbon monoxide as the sole carbon and energy source and the cells contain a well characterized nitrogenase system that is post-translationally modified by ADP-ribosylation. Phototrophic bacterium. This organism is an anoxygenic phototrophic bacterium that does not produce oxygen, but instead produces extracellular elemental sulfur when harvesting light energy. The bacterium lacks the light harvesting complex 2 (LHC2) normally found in photosynthetic bacteria meaning it contains one of the simplest photosynthetic systems studied.
