Query: NC_015580:3779724 Novosphingobium sp. PP1Y, complete genome
Lineage: Novosphingobium; Novosphingobium; Sphingomonadaceae; Sphingomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Novosphingobium sp. PP1Y is a marine bacteria specifically adapted to use fuels as energy source. It is able to grow on a wide range of mono-, poly- and heterocyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Isolated from a surface seawater sample collected from a closed bay in the harbour of Pozzuoli (Naples, Italy).
Subject: NC_014219:25845 Bacillus selenitireducens MLS10 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Bacillus selenitireducens; Bacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Isolation: Anoxic muds of Mono Lake California; Country: USA; Temp: Mesophile; Habitat: Fresh water. Bacillus selenitireducens MLS-10 was isolated from alkaline, hypersaline, arsenic-rich mud from Mono Lake, California. This organism can reduce arsenate, selenate, and selenite, making it a potential bioremediation agent. Bacillus selenitireducens produces intracellular and extracellular granules of elemental selenium when grown on selenite. The respiratory arsenate reductase has been purified, and is able to function at high pH and alkalinity.
