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_008048:2838769 Sphingopyxis alaskensis RB2256, complete genome
Lineage: Sphingopyxis alaskensis; Sphingopyxis; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from Resurrection Bay in the Gulf of Alaska. It is a model oligotrophic organism and forms a very small cell size. his genus was created from the Sphingomonas genus on the basis of phylogenetic, phenotypic, and chemotaxonomic characteristics. Sphingopyxis alaskensis is one of the most numerically abundant microbes found in oligotrophic marine waters and is an important contributor of biomass.
