Query: NC_016620:341699 Bacteriovorax marinus SJ, complete genome
Lineage: Bacteriovorax marinus; Bacteriovorax; Bacteriovoracaceae; Bdellovibrionales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This bacterium is an unusual species which parasitizes other gram negative bacteria during its growth phase. It has a highly motile free-living extracelluar phase during which it seeks out new hosts.
Subject: NC_012793:3275751 Geobacillus sp. WCH70, complete genome
Lineage: Geobacillus; Geobacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Temp: Thermophile. Recent rDNA analysis and DNA-DNA hybridization studies using spore-forming thermophilic subsurface isolates from formation waters of oilfields in Russia, Kazakhstan and China provided enough evidence to define the phylogenetically distinct, physiologically and morphologically consistent taxon Geobacillus. Geobacillus species are chemo-organotrophic, obligately thermophilic, neutrophilic, motile, spore-forming, aerobic or facultatively anaerobic Gram-positive bacterium.
