Query: NC_016610:1805126 Tannerella forsythia ATCC 43037 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Tannerella forsythia; Tannerella; Porphyromonadaceae; Bacteroidales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: This organism is a key agent in the progression of periodontal disease and is involved in bone loss and loss of attachment of teeth. The pathogenic factors involved in this are poorly understood. Unlike other periodontal organism such as Porphyromonas gingivalis and Prevotella intermedia, this organism is difficult to culture and the prevalence of the organism in periodontal disease may be underestimated. This organism is synergistic with Porphyromonas gingivalis, and the presence of both accelerates progression of the disease.

Subject: NC_009952:2381601 Dinoroseobacter shibae DFL 12, complete genome

Lineage: Dinoroseobacter shibae; Dinoroseobacter; Rhodobacteraceae; Rhodobacterales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: This aerobic anoxygenic phototroph was isolated from cultivated marine dinoflagellates originally from the Bay of Tokyo, Japan. Liquid cultures grown in the dark are distinctly pink, while colonies on complex agar media are dark red.
