General Information: Lactobacillus amylovorus GRL 1112 strain has been isolated from porcine faeces. This strain is also of interest as a putative probiotic. Lactobacillus amylovorus is a common member of the normal gastrointestinal tract microbiota in pigs, and specific strains have been suggested as potential probiotics. In addition, Lactobacillus amylovorus has also been isolated from plant material.
Subject: NC_009720:1006201 Xanthobacter autotrophicus Py2, complete genome
Lineage: Xanthobacter autotrophicus; Xanthobacter; Xanthobacteraceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Alkene-degrading bacterium. Xanthobacter autotrophicus is a nitrogen-fixing methylotroph, commonly isolated from organic rich soil, sediment and water. This organism uses an alkene-specific monooxygenase to convert propene to epoxypropane. This monooxygenase is also able to catalyze the initial step in the cometabolism of chlorinated alkenes such as vinyl chloride and trichloroethene. The Xanthobacter autotrophicus alkene monooxygenase and other genes involved in alkene degradation are located on a 320 kb megaplasmid.
