Query: NC_015590:298063 Sinorhizobium meliloti AK83 chromosome 1, complete sequence

Lineage: Sinorhizobium meliloti; Sinorhizobium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Environment: Host, Plant root, Root nodule, Soil; Temp: Mesophile; Temp: 25 - 30C. This organism, much like other Rhizobia, forms a symbiotic relationship with a leguminous plant, in this case the alfalfa plant (Medicago sativa). Expression of nodulation genes results in production of a nodulation signal which the plant cell recognizes inducing root nodule formation. The plant cell provides carbon compounds for the bacterium to grow on.

Subject: NC_013446:1889500 Comamonas testosteroni CNB-2, complete genome

Lineage: Comamonas testosteroni; Comamonas; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Comamonas testosteroni is commonly isolated from activated sludge from industrial wastewater treatment systems. This organism has been shown to be able to degrade a number of different compounds including chlorobenzenes, and may be important for the biodegradation of these compounds.
