Query: NC_015637:819233 Vibrio anguillarum 775 chromosome chromosome II, complete sequence
Lineage: Vibrio anguillarum; Vibrio; Vibrionaceae; Vibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Listonella anguillarum, formerly Vibrio anguillarum is an opportunistic pathogen in economically important marine fish such as eel, flounder and salmon. This disease causes lesions on the skin and around the mouth and gills of the fish often progressing to a systemic infection causing death. If left untreated this disease can cause significant losses in commercial hatcheries.
Subject: NC_009901:2915939 Shewanella pealeana ATCC 700345, complete genome
Lineage: Shewanella pealeana; Shewanella; Shewanellaceae; Alteromonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This species was isolated from a microbial community colonizing the accessory nidamental gland of the squid Loligo peali (Atlantic squid) for their capacity to respire on sulfur. It was placed in the Shewanella genus based on physiological and biochemical characteristics and 16S rRNA sequence analysis. Shewanella are ubiquitous in marine environment and play very important role in global carbon and nitrogen cycle. The present strain is moderately halophilic, requiring sodium ions for growth. Shewanella are facultatively anaerobic, Gram-negative bacteria, motile by polar flagella, rod-like, and generally associated with aquatic or marine environments.
