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_010424:214640 Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator MP104C, complete genome
Lineage: Desulforudis audaxviator; Desulforudis; Peptococcaceae; Clostridiales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Its genome indicates a motile, sporulating, sulfate-reducing, chemoautotrophic thermophile that can fix its own nitrogen and carbon by using machinery shared with archaea. Candidatus Desulforudis audaxviator is a gram positive sulfate reducing bacteria identified in fracture water from a borehole at a depth of 2.8 km in a South African gold mine. Water from these boreholes is very old (low-biodiversity fracture water), suggesting that these bacteria have been isolated from the Earth's surface for as much as several million years.
