Query: NC_014623:6950638 Stigmatella aurantiaca DW4/3-1 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Stigmatella aurantiaca; Stigmatella; Cystobacteraceae; Myxococcales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Social gliding soil bacterium. Stigmatella aurantica, commonly isolated from rotting wood and bark, is a member of a group of organisms called myxobacteria. These organisms have a complex development and differentiation life cycle. When cell density increases, the organism switches to "social motility" where aggregates of cells can gather together into masses termed fruiting bodies that may consist of up to 100,000 cells. Stigmatella aurantica produces a number of compounds, such as aurafuron A and stigmatellin, which may be important as anti-cancer agents.

Subject: NC_014414:1104386 Parvularcula bermudensis HTCC2503 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Parvularcula bermudensis; Parvularcula; Parvularculaceae; Parvularculales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: An obligately aerobic, NaCl-requiring, chemoheterotrophic Gram-negative bacterium. Parvularcula bermudensis was isolated from seawater collected from a depth of 10 meters at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series station in the Sargasso Sea. This organism forms a new order within the alpha proteobacteria.
