Query: NC_017048:484000 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_014934:701085 Cellulophaga algicola DSM 14237 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Cellulophaga algicola; Cellulophaga; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: surfaces of algal species from the Antarctic; Temp: Mesophile. Cellulophaga algicola is a marine bacterium, commonly associated with marine diatoms, and produces extracellular enzymes which degrade agar and other complex compounds.
