Query: NC_014171:261952 Bacillus thuringiensis BMB171 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Bacillus thuringiensis; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism, also known as BT, is famous for the production of an insecticidal toxin. The bacterium was initially discovered as a pathogen of various insects and was first used as an insecticidal agent in the early part of this century. This organism, like many other Bacilli, is found in the soil, where it leads a saprophytic existence, but becomes an opportunistic pathogen of insects when ingested.

Subject: NC_014165:2888961 Thermobispora bispora DSM 43833 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Thermobispora bispora; Thermobispora; Pseudonocardiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Decaying manure; Temp: Thermophile; Temp: 55 - 65C; Isolation: decaying manure. Thermobispora bispora is a thermophilic actinomycete which is able to grow at 65 degrees C and not at 35 degrees C. This organism forms aerial mycelia which contain longitudinal pairs of spores.
