Query: NC_016603:3475843 Acinetobacter calcoaceticus PHEA-2 chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus; Acinetobacter; Moraxellaceae; Pseudomonadales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Acinetobacter calcoaceticus is part of the normal flora of the human skin and throat. It is an opportunistic pathogen. Originally isolated from industrial wastewater in China because of its ability to use phenol as the sole carbon source.
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.
