Lineage: Ethanoligenens harbinense; Ethanoligenens; Ruminococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Sludge; Isolation: Anaerobic activated sludge of molasses; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 20 - 44C. Ethanoligenens harbinense is a strictly anaerobic, motile, chemo-organotrophic Gram-positive bacterium isolated from anaerobic activated sludge of molasses wastewater in a continuous stirred-tank reactor. Ethanoligenens harbinense produces ethanol, acetate, hydrogen, and carbon dioxide during glucose fermentation.
Subject: NC_009142:949510 Saccharopolyspora erythraea NRRL 2338, complete genome
Lineage: Saccharopolyspora erythraea; Saccharopolyspora; Pseudonocardiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Source of the antibiotic erythromycin. Saccharopolyspora erythraea is the soil bacterium that produces the industrially important antibiotic erythromycin A. Erythromycin is a clinically important and potent macrolide antibiotic. It is used to treat infections caused by several prokaryotic pathogens such as Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, Mycoplasma, Ureaplasma, Chlamydia and Legionella. Production of this antibiotic is lower than others in the same class, such as penicillin or cephalosporin, which has led to the development of a genetic system to attempt to enhance the production of erythromycin.
