Query: NC_014816:2446236 Asticcacaulis excentricus CB 48 chromosome 1, complete sequence

Lineage: Asticcacaulis excentricus; Asticcacaulis; Caulobacteraceae; Caulobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Environment: Fresh water; Isolation: Pondwater; Temp: Mesophile; Isolation: pond water. Asticcacaulis excentricus inhabits aquatic environments and plays an important part in biogeochemical cycling of organic nutrients. This bacterium undergoes an unusual developmental cycle in which a swarming motile cell becomes a stalked cell that is attached to a solid surface. The stalked cell then undergoes asymmetric cell division and produces one flagellated motile daughter cell and one stalked daughter cell. Thus, the asymmetric processes in this organism provide useful models for differentiation and development.

Subject: NC_013422:1604157 Halothiobacillus neapolitanus c2, complete genome

Lineage: Halothiobacillus neapolitanus; Halothiobacillus; Halothiobacillaceae; Chromatiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: Sulfide-rich natural spa; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 30 - 40C. Halothiobacillus neapolitanus is a sulfur-oxidizing, chemoautotrophic, Gram-negative bacterium able to tolerate high concentrations of sulfide. This organism fixes CO2 using a polyhedral body called a carboxysome which contains the primary carbon fixing enzyme, ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase/oxygenase.
