Query: NC_012917:1506083 Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum PC1, complete genome

Lineage: Pectobacterium carotovorum; Pectobacterium; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Host. Pectobacterium carotovorum causes soft-rot diseases of various plant hosts through degradation of the plant cell walls. Formerly Erwinia, these organisms are plant-specific pathogens that invade the vascular systems of plants. Pectobacterium colonize the intercellular spaces of plant cells and deliver potent effector molecules (Avr - avirulence) through a type III secretion system (Hrp - hypersensitive response and pathogenicity). Avr proteins control host-bacterium interactions, including host range. Expression of the plant cell-wall-degrading enzymes is controlled through a quorum-sensing mechanism that quantifies the number of Pectobacterium bacteria through measurement of the concentration of small molecules (acyl homoserine lactones) produced by Pectobacterium.

Subject: NC_014012:1676983 Shewanella violacea DSS12, complete genome

Lineage: Shewanella violacea; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Shewanella violacea DSS12 was isolated from mud, taken at a depth of 5110 m, from the Ryukyu Trench in the Philippine Sea. Shewanella violacea is psychrophilic and barophilic, with an optimum growth temperature and pressure of 8 degrees C and 30 MPa, respectively. This organism is able to grow at pressures from 0.1 MPa to 70Mpa, however, no growth occurs a temperatures above 20 degrees C.
