Query: NC_013517:4208939 Sebaldella termitidis ATCC 33386, complete genome
Lineage: Sebaldella termitidis; Sebaldella; Leptotrichiaceae; Fusobacteriales; Fusobacteria; Bacteria
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_009662:222964 Nitratiruptor sp. SB155-2, complete genome
Lineage: Nitratiruptor; Nitratiruptor; Nautiliaceae; Nautiliales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain was isolated from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent in the Iheya North field in the Mid-Okinawa Trough, Japan as part of a larger diversity study. This rod-shaped bacterium grows chemolithoautotrophically and can utilize a wide spectrum of electron donors and acceptors (i.e. hydrogen, sulfur compounds, nitrate and oxygen). It can occupy different ecological niches, and its metabolic versatility probably enables it to adapt to the geochemical variability in deep-sea hydrothermal environments.
