Query: NC_014817:142976 Asticcacaulis excentricus CB 48 chromosome 2, 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_007794:2839239 Novosphingobium aromaticivorans DSM 12444, complete genome

Lineage: Novosphingobium aromaticivorans; Novosphingobium; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This strain, also known as F199, was isolated from a sample obtained at a depth of 410 m from a borehole sample that was drilled at the Savannah River Site in South Carolina, USA. Aromatic hydrocarbon-degrading bacterium. This organism is unusual in that it has glycosphingolipid in the cell envelope instead of the lipopolysaccharide found in most other gram negative organisms. It is typically isolated from a wide range of environmental sites.
