Query: NC_016050:15224 Rickettsia japonica YH, complete genome
Lineage: Rickettsia japonica; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: The causal agent of Oriental Spotted Fever. Human pathogen. Rickettsiae are obligate intracellular Gram-negative bacteria mostly found in arthropods, some of which cause mild to severe diseases in humans. Rickettsia japonica strain YH was isolated in 1985 from the blood of a patient with febrile exanthematous illness in Japan.
Subject: NC_008025:316302 Deinococcus geothermalis DSM 11300, complete genome
Lineage: Deinococcus geothermalis; Deinococcus; Deinococcaceae; Deinococcales; Deinococcus-Thermus; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was isolated from a hot spring at Agnano, Naples, Italy. Deinococcus geothermalis is a radiation resistant bacterium. This organism has been identified as a primary biofilm former on paper making machinery. The sequence of this organism will provide information on the mechanism and regulation of attachment and biofilm formation.
