Query: NC_013851:608089 Allochromatium vinosum DSM 180 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Allochromatium vinosum; Allochromatium; Chromatiaceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Ditch water; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25C; Habitat: Fresh water. Allochromatium vinosum, formerly Chromatium vinosum, is a sulfur-oxidizing anoxygenic phototroph. These organisms use sulfur compounds as electron donors and often contain internal sulfur deposits.
Subject: NC_014623:4740221 Stigmatella aurantiaca DW4/3-1 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Stigmatella aurantiaca; Stigmatella; Cystobacteraceae; Myxococcales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Social gliding soil bacterium. Stigmatella aurantica, commonly isolated from rotting wood and bark, is a member of a group of organisms called myxobacteria. These organisms have a complex development and differentiation life cycle. When cell density increases, the organism switches to "social motility" where aggregates of cells can gather together into masses termed fruiting bodies that may consist of up to 100,000 cells. Stigmatella aurantica produces a number of compounds, such as aurafuron A and stigmatellin, which may be important as anti-cancer agents.
