Query: NC_014614:1090000 Clostridium sticklandii, complete genome

Lineage: Clostridium sticklandii; Clostridium; unclassified Peptostreptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This Clostridium (HF strain, ATCC 12662) was initially found associated with Methanococcus vannieli in formate-enriched cultures. After its isolation in pure culture, it was shown that this organism is capable of fermenting amino acids. Biochemical studies have shown that C. sticklandii obtains energy for growth from oxidation-reduction reactions between specific amino acid pairs. Clostridium sticklandii is a Gram-positive bacterium with low (G +C) content that is capable of fermenting amino acids.

Subject: NC_015757:263938 Sulfobacillus acidophilus TPY chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Sulfobacillus acidophilus; Sulfobacillus; Clostridiales Family XVII; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: Sulfobacillus acidophilus was first isolated from a coal spoil heap in the United Kingdom. This orgainism is an acidophilic sulfur- and iron-oxidizing bacterium capable of autotrophic growth on iron and sulfur.
