General Information: Paenibacillus mucilaginosus (formerly Bacillus mucilaginosus), the type species of Paenibacillus, is consequently widely used as microbial fertilizer in agricultural applications due to its growth-promoting properties. P. mucilaginosus 3016 was isolated from rhizosphere soil and widely used in microbial fertilizer for most manufacturers in China.
Subject: NC_005296:4574213 Rhodopseudomonas palustris CGA009, complete genome
Lineage: Rhodopseudomonas palustris; Rhodopseudomonas; Bradyrhizobiaceae; Rhizobiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Environmental bacterium with potential use in bioremediation. This organism has a diverse metabolism and is capable of growth using light, inorganic, or organic compounds as energy sources and carbon dioxide or organic compounds as carbon sources. Commonly found in soil and water environments this bacterium is also capable of degrading a wide range of toxic organic compounds, and may be of use in bioremediation of polluted sites. The bacterium undergoes differentiation to produce a stalked nonmotile cell and a motile flagellated cell. In the presence of light, this bacterium produces a number of intracellular membranous vesicles to house the photosynthetic reaction centers.
