Query: NC_015474:644552 Pyrococcus sp. NA2 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Pyrococcus; Pyrococcus; Thermococcaceae; Thermococcales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Pyrococcus has similar characteristics of other thermoautotrophican archaea such as Archaeoglobus, and Methanococcus in the respect that they are all thermophilic and anaerobic. Pyrococcus differs, however, because its optimal growth temperature is nearly 100 °C and dwells at a greater sea depth than the other archaea. Studying Pyrococcus helps give insight to possible mechanisms used to endure extreme environmental conditions like high temperatures and high pressure.

Subject: NC_013282:3962188 Cronobacter turicensis, complete genome

Lineage: Cronobacter turicensis; Cronobacter; Enterobacteriaceae; Enterobacteriales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Cronobacter turicensis is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause infections such as necrotizing enterocolitis, bacteraemia, meningitis and brain abscess/lesions. Gram-negative bacterium. Turicensis is the Latin name of Zurich, as the type strain originates from Zurich, Switzerland.
