Query: NC_016639:274157 Rickettsia slovaca 13-B chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Rickettsia slovaca; Rickettsia; Rickettsiaceae; Rickettsiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Members of this genus, like other Rickettsial organisms such as Neorickettsia and Anaplasma, are obligate intracellular pathogens. In both groups, the bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism where they target endothelial cells and sometimes macrophages. They attach via an adhesin, rickettsial outer membrane protein A, and are internalized where they persist as cytoplasmically free organisms.

Subject: NC_007681:848084 Methanosphaera stadtmanae DSM 3091, complete genome

Lineage: Methanosphaera stadtmanae; Methanosphaera; Methanobacteriaceae; Methanobacteriales; Euryarchaeota; Archaea

General Information: Isolated from human feces. Methanogen that uses methanol and hydrogen to produce methane. This organism produces methane from methanol and hydrogen unlike most methanogens that use carbon dioxide and hydrogen.
