Lineage: Nocardia cyriacigeorgica; Nocardia; Nocardiaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Isolated from a fatal human nocardiosis case at Washington DC, USA in the 1970s. Human pathogen. Nocardia cyriacigeorgica is a filamentous actinobacteria, frequently isolated from diseased human and animal tissues. N. cyriacigeorgica is the most prevalent species responsible for nocardiosis in North America, while placing fourth in France.
Subject: NC_008786:2687688 Verminephrobacter eiseniae EF01-2, complete genome
Lineage: Verminephrobacter eiseniae; Verminephrobacter; Comamonadaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This species was isolated from the kidney of the earthworm Eisenia foetida. Evidence based on curing experiments, Acidovorax-specific probes, and 16S phylogeny, indicate that earthworm egg capsules contain high numbers of the bacterial endosymbiont. Juvenile earthworms are colonized during embryonic development within the egg capsule, and failing this are not likely to acquire the symbiont by association with colonized adults or their bedding.
