Lineage: Trichormus azollae; Trichormus; Nostocaceae; Nostocales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: water fern Azolla; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Host. Nostoc azollae, formerly Anabaena azollae, is a cyanobacterial symbiont of the water fern Azolla, commonly known as 'duckweed'. Nostoc azollae is a nitrogen-fixer and provides nitrogen to the host plant.
Subject: NC_014833:3268102 Ruminococcus albus 7 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Ruminococcus albus; Ruminococcus; Ruminococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Host; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 40C. The bacterium requires phenylacetic and phenylpropionic acids for maximal growth. The organism produces cellulosomes at the cell surface that are multimeric protein complexes that contain scaffolding proteins and degradative enzymes. Understanding the metabolism of plant polysaccharides may enable scientists to improve the productivity of ruminant organisms such as cattle
