General Information: Isolation: Termite intestine; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Gut, Host. Sebaldella termitidis, formerly Bacteroides termitidis was originally isolated from the termite intestine. This organism is able to degrade uric acid and may play a role in providing nitrogen to the termite host.
Subject: NC_018664:3009166 Clostridium acidurici 9a chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Gottschalkia acidurici; Gottschalkia; ; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Clostridium acidiurici is an obligate anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium that is motile and spore-forming. It can be isolated from almost every soil but can also be found in the intestinal tract of birds. It is able to use purines like uric acid as sole carbon, nitrogen and energy source to build ammonia, carbon dioxide and acetic acid. Unlike most other Clostridia it is a specialist and not able to grow on sugars or different other substrates than purines.
