Lineage: Staphylococcus lugdunensis; Staphylococcus; Staphylococcaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Complete genome sequencing of Staphylococcus lugdunensis strain HKU09-01 isolated from a patient suffering from skin and soft tissue infection. Staphylococcus lugdunensis is known to be a pathogenic member of the coagulase-negative staphylococci, causing skin and soft tissue infections, catheter-related bacteremia, native valve endocardititis and osteomyelitis.
Subject: NC_011978:975333 Thermotoga neapolitana DSM 4359, complete genome
Lineage: Thermotoga neapolitana; Thermotoga; Thermotogaceae; Thermotogales; Thermotogae; Bacteria
General Information: This hyperthermophilic organism was first isolated from a black smoker in the bay near Naples, Italy in 1986. This organism, like other Thermotoga, produces a vast quantity of hydrogen in batch culture. It is being considered for use in projects to utilize waste carboydrates for the production of hydrogen gas for industrial purposes. A number of thermostable enzymes such as alkaline phosphatase are also produced by this bacterium and may be of use for industrial purposes.
