Query: NC_014499:87528 Candidatus Sulcia muelleri CARI chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Sulcia muelleri; Sulcia; ; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: This organism is a gut symbiont of the Blue-Green Sharpshooter and several other leafhopper species. It synthesizes amino acids for the host, enabling the leafhopper to live on a diet of plant sap. The Blue-Green Sharpshooter is an important vector for Pierce's Disease in plants, caused by the spread of Xylella fastidiosa.

Lineage: Corynebacterium ulcerans; Corynebacterium; Corynebacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: They may be found as members of the normal microflora of humans, where these bacteria find a suitable niche in virtually every anatomic site. Corynebacterium ulcerans is commonly associated with dairy animals and unpasturized dairy products. This organism has been implicated in bovine mastitis and can cause skin infections and a diptheria-like disease in humans.
