Query: NC_015687:303810 Clostridium acetobutylicum DSM 1731 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Clostridium acetobutylicum; Clostridium; Clostridiaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is a benign saccharolytic and proteolytic soil bacterium capable of producing a number of organic solvents (solventogenic bacterium) through fermentation of various organic compounds. The first strains of C. acetobutyricum were isolated by Chaim Weizman during the World War I and used to develop industrial starch-based acetone, butanol and ethanol fermentation processes.

Subject: NC_013062:421779 Flavobacteriaceae bacterium 3519-10, complete genome

Lineage: Flavobacteriaceae bacterium; Flavobacteriaceae; unclassified Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This bacterium was cultured from ancient Antarctic ice (>420,000 yrs). It produces a protein that appears critical to survival in ice.
