Query: NC_017048:452000 Rickettsia prowazekii str. GvV257 chromosome, complete genome

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

General Information: This species is the causal agent of typhus. The bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism, in this case humans, 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. Transovarial transmission (from mother to offspring) occurs in the invertebrate host.

Subject: NC_014414:2569494 Parvularcula bermudensis HTCC2503 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Parvularcula bermudensis; Parvularcula; Parvularculaceae; Parvularculales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: An obligately aerobic, NaCl-requiring, chemoheterotrophic Gram-negative bacterium. Parvularcula bermudensis was isolated from seawater collected from a depth of 10 meters at the Bermuda Atlantic Time Series station in the Sargasso Sea. This organism forms a new order within the alpha proteobacteria.
