Query: NC_014800:329861 Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913 chromosome chromosome II, complete
Lineage: Pseudoalteromonas; Pseudoalteromonas; Pseudoalteromonadaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Pseudoalteromonas is a genus of gamma-proteobacteria that is widespread in the world's oceans, from surface water to deep-sea sediments. Pseudoalteromonas sp. SM9913, isolated from deep-sea sediment at a water depth of 1855 meters near the Okinawa Trough, is a psychrophilic strain that produces a large quantity of proteases and exopolysaccharides (EPSs), indicating its function in the degradation of sedimentary particulate organic nitrogen and its potential uses in biotechnology applications.
Subject: NC_014121:489500 Enterobacter cloacae subsp. cloacae ATCC 13047 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Enterobacter cloacae; Enterobacter; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Enterobacter species are found in natural environments such as water, sewage, soil, and vegetables; some species are found in human and animal species. Enterobacter cloacae is a prevalent nosocomial pathogen as it is highly resistant to disinfectants and antimicrobial agents. E.cloacae subsp. cloacae strain ATCC 13047 was isolated from human cerebrospinal fluid in 1890 and is the type strain. These "ICU bugs" cause significant morbidity and mortality, and infection management is complicated by multiple antibiotic resistance. These bacteria possess inducible beta-lactamases, which are undetectable in vitro but are also responsible for resistance during treatment.
