Query: NC_015858:1150446 Brucella pinnipedialis B2/94 chromosome chromosome 2, complete
Lineage: Brucella pinnipedialis; Brucella; Brucellaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Brucella pinnipedialis has been isolated from seals, porpoises and other marine mammals. This organism can be isolated from skin, blood, spleen and lymph nodes although the pathogenesis of this organism has yet to be determined.
Subject: NC_008705:1537080 Mycobacterium sp. KMS, complete genome
Lineage: Mycobacterium; Mycobacterium; Mycobacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from creosote-contaminated soil from the Champion International Superfund site in Libby, Montana, USA. This microbe, along with some others collected at this site, are able to rapidly mineralize 14C-labeled pyrene. Phylogenetic studies based on the rRNA 16S gene confirmed that strains collected at this site were distinct from one another and also from other known Mycobacterium isolates.
