Query: NC_013222:2795919 Robiginitalea biformata HTCC2501, complete genome
Lineage: Robiginitalea biformata; Robiginitalea; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Robiginitalea biformata was isolated from seawater taken at a depth of 10 meters from the Sargasso Sea (Atlantic Ocean). Although a member of the Flavobacteriaceae, the DNA G+C content of this organism is much higher than for other members of this family.
Subject: NC_014106:419511 Lactobacillus crispatus ST1, complete genome
Lineage: Lactobacillus crispatus; Lactobacillus; Lactobacillaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: They are commonly found in the oral, vaginal, and intestinal regions of many animals. Lactobacilli are important industrial microbes that contribute to the production of cheese, yogurt, fermented milks, and other products, all stemming from the production of lactic acid, which inhibits the growth of other organisms as well as lowering the pH of the food product. Industrial production requires the use of starter cultures, which are carefully created, cultivated, and maintained, which produce specific end products during fermentation that impart flavor to the final product, as well as contributing important metabolic reactions, such as the breakdown of milk proteins during cheese production. The end product of fermentation, lactic acid, is also being used as a starter molecule for complex organic molecule syntheses. Lactobacillus crispatus is a member of the normal human oral, gastrointestinal, and genital tract microflora.
