Query: NC_015844:3524175 Zobellia galactanivorans, complete genome
Lineage: Zobellia galactanivorans; Zobellia; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Zobellia galactanivorans is a marine bacterium that participates in the carbon cycle as a decomposer of dead algae. This organism produces several potentially commercially important polysaccharidases which are able to degrade agar and carageenan.
Subject: NC_011988:1036618 Agrobacterium vitis S4 chromosome 2, complete genome
Lineage: Agrobacterium vitis; Agrobacterium; Rhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Agrobacterium vitis is the causative agent of crown gall disease in grapes. Agrobacterium are Gram-negative, motile, soil-dwelling plant pathogens with the species name given based on the disease phenotype associated with the bacteria. Disease causing Agrobacterium spp. possess a tumor-inducing (Ti) plasmid, which carries genes for the formation of opines. A segment of the Ti plasmid gets transferred to the plant cell and integrates into the host cell genome. The plant cell then starts synthesizing opines, which can be catabolized by Agrobacterium spp, but not by the plant cells.
