Lineage: Lactobacillus buchneri; Lactobacillus; Lactobacillaceae; Lactobacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Environment: Host, Intestinal microflora; Isolation: Fuel ethanol production facility; Temp: Mesophile. Lactobacillus buchneri is a lactic acid bacillus commonly isolated from dairy and plant products as well as the human oral cavity. This organism is heterofermentative, producing acetic and lactic acid. It also has potential for use as a biofuel producing agent.
Subject: NC_010994:3666651 Rhizobium etli CIAT 652, complete genome
Lineage: Rhizobium etli; Rhizobium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: It is a nitrogen-fixing symbiotic bacteria that interacts with the root of the common bean plant Phaseolus vulgaris. The molecular biology and evolution of R. etli and its relation to other nitrogen/fixing symbionts has been well studied. The genomic sequence will provide information on the process of symbiosis, on the genetic systems that allow the survival and adaptations of this bacteria to the soil, and on the evolutionary relationship and the symbiosis origin of this organism.
