Query: NC_014625:1903277 Ketogulonicigenium vulgare Y25 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Ketogulonicigenium vulgare; Ketogulonicigenium; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This species is Gram-negative, facultatively anaerobic, nonmotile, with ovoid to rod-shaped cells isolated from soil. Optimum temperature range is 27-29 degrees C. Strains can oxidize L-sorbose to 2-keto-L-gulonic acid, a key intermediate in the synthesis of vitamin C. Isolated from soil.
Subject: NC_007794:1553000 Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444, complete genome
Lineage: Novosphingobium aromaticivorans; Novosphingobium; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This strain, also known as F199, was isolated from a sample obtained at a depth of 410 m from a borehole sample that was drilled at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, USA. Aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium. This organism is unusual in that it has glycosphingolipid in the cell envelope instead of the lipopolysaccharide found in most other gram negative organisms. It is typically isolated from a wide range of environmental sites.
