Query: NC_013771:1171251 Cyanobacterium UCYN-A, complete genome Lineage: Atelocyanobacterium thalassa; Atelocyanobacterium; ; Chroococcales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria General Information: UCYN-A cyanobacteria are species of nitrogen-fixing marine cyanobacteria that lack the oxygen producing photosystem II complex of the photosynthetic apparatus, the enzymes of the Calvin and tricarboxylic acid cycles, as well as several enzymes involved in amino acid synthesis. The cyanobacteria live in symbiosis with photosynthetic eukaryotic cells, specifically those of a single-celled species of algae.

General Information: The original ATCC isolate was from a human urine specimen. Commensal Staphylococcal species that can cause acute urinary tract infections. Staphylcocci are generally found inhabiting the skin and mucous membranes of mammals and birds. Some members of this genus can be found as human commensals and these are generally believed to have the greatest pathogenic potential in opportunistic infections. This organism, normally a commensal on human skin and mucous membranes, is now the second most common cause of acute urinary tract infections after Escherichia coli. It often causes uncomplicated urinary tract infections (UTI) in female outpatients.
