Query: NC_014666:3311893 Frankia sp. EuI1c chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Frankia; Frankia; Frankiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Host, Plant symbiont, Soil; Temp: Mesophile. Frankia sp. EuI1c was isolated from the Autumn olive, Elaeagnus umbellata. Frankia sp. (strain EuI1c) is an aerobic Gram-positive bacterium isolated from four continents (North America, South America, Africa, and Asia) and different habitats, including dry soils with high salinity levels, steppe-like plains at 900 m, and mountain forests at 3,000 m.
Subject: NC_018583:95388 Gordonia sp. KTR9 plasmid pGKT3, complete sequence
Lineage: Gordonia; Gordonia; Gordoniaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from soil at an explosives testing facility. Can transform hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX), a cyclic nitramine explosive. Many military ranges in the United States and Canada are contaminated with explosive and propellant residues. Of the nitroaromatic and nitramine explosives that exist on these sites, hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) has a low sorption capacity and can migrate through soil into surface water and groundwater.
