Query: NC_013061:1360081 Pedobacter heparinus DSM 2366, complete genome
Lineage: Pedobacter heparinus; Pedobacter; Sphingobacteriaceae; Sphingobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25 - 30C; Habitat: Soil. Formerly Sphingobacterium heparinum this organism was isolated from soil. This organism is able to degrade heparin and heparan sulfate glycosaminoglycans, which are components of extracellular polysaccharides and the cell surface.
Subject: NC_008618:1526392 Bifidobacterium adolescentis ATCC 15703, complete genome
Lineage: Bifidobacterium adolescentis; Bifidobacterium; Bifidobacteriaceae; Bifidobacteriales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Human gut bacterium. This species is a normal inhabitant of the healthy human gut. Newborns, especially those that are breast-fed, are colonized with Bifidobacteria within days after birth. This species was first isolated from the feces of a breast-fed infant. In one comprehensive 16S rDNA sequence-based enumeration of the colonic microbiota of three healthy adult humans it represents, on average, 0.008% of all 16S rDNA sequences and 4.302% of the sequences in its division (Eckburg et. They are saccharolytic organisms that produce acetic and lactic acids without generation of CO2, except during degradation of gluconate.
