Query: NC_014751:119976 Mycoplasma leachii PG50 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Mycoplasma leachii; Mycoplasma; Mycoplasmataceae; Mycoplasmatales; Tenericutes; Bacteria
General Information: Mycoplasma leachii, formerly Mycoplasma sp. 'bovine group 7', was originally isolated from cattle suffering from arthritis and mastitis in Australia. Mycoplasma leachii is part of the mycoides cluster like Mycoplasma mycoides SC and Mycoplasma capricolum, but it can infect both bovine and caprine hosts.
Subject: NC_009840:1485383 Prochlorococcus marinus str. MIT 9215, complete genome
Lineage: Prochlorococcus marinus; Prochlorococcus; Prochlorococcaceae; Prochlorales; Cyanobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Marine cyanobacterium. It is found in low- to mid-latitude oceans and seas, thriving in nutrient-poor water. This non-motile bacterium is a free-living marine organism that is one of the most abundant, as well as the smallest, on earth, and contributes heavily to carbon cycling in the marine environment. This cyanobacterium grows in areas of nitrogen and phosphorus limitation and is unique in that it utilizes divinyl chlorophyll a/b proteins as light-harvesting systems instead of phycobiliproteins. These pigments allow harvesting of light energy from blue wavelengths at low light intensity.
