Query: NC_012115:961883 Nautilia profundicola AmH, complete genome

Lineage: Nautilia profundicola; Nautilia; Nautiliaceae; Nautiliales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Thermophilic sulfur-reducing bacterium. Nautilia can be isolated from the epidermis of the hydrothermal vent worm, Alvinella pompejana and from hydrothermal vent chimneys. These organisms grow chemoautotrophically on hydrogen, sulfur, and CO2. Nautilia profundicola is a thermophilic, hydrogen-oxidizing, sulfur-reducing chemoautotroph that uses the reductive TCA cycle for carbon fixation. It is a member of the deepest branch of the Epsilonproteobacteria and is a model organism of the anaerobic autotrophic Epsilonproteobacteria at hydrothermal vents.

Subject: NC_014614:2333890 Clostridium sticklandii, complete genome

Lineage: Clostridium sticklandii; Clostridium; unclassified Peptostreptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This Clostridium (HF strain, ATCC 12662) was initially found associated with Methanococcus vannieli in formate-enriched cultures. After its isolation in pure culture, it was shown that this organism is capable of fermenting amino acids. Biochemical studies have shown that C. sticklandii obtains energy for growth from oxidation-reduction reactions between specific amino acid pairs. Clostridium sticklandii is a Gram-positive bacterium with low (G +C) content that is capable of fermenting amino acids.
