Lineage: Cellulophaga algicola; Cellulophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: surfaces of algal species from the Antarctic; Temp: Mesophile. Cellulophaga algicola is a marine bacterium, commonly associated with marine diatoms, and produces extracellular enzymes which degrade agar and other complex compounds.
Subject: NC_014933:3755000 Bacteroides helcogenes P 36-108 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacteroides helcogenes; Bacteroides; Bacteroidaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Host; Isolation: Pig faeces; Temp: Mesophile. This group of microbes constitute the most abundant members of the intestinal microflora of mammals. Typically they are symbionts, but they can become opportunistic pathogens in the peritoneal (intra-abdominal) cavity. This organism produces many extracellular enzymes which assist in the breakdown of complex plant polysaccharides such as cellulose and hemicellulose and host-derived polysaccharides such as mucopolysaccharides. This species has been isolated from abscesses in pigs.
