Query: NC_017051:109000 Rickettsia prowazekii str. Dachau 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_011145:1732499 Anaeromyxobacter sp. K, complete genome

Lineage: Anaeromyxobacter; Anaeromyxobacter; Myxococcaceae; Myxococcales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria

General Information: Nitrogen fixation, Thiosulfate oxidation. As its name suggests this bacteria is capable of anaerobic growth. They are slender Gram-negative rods that exhibit gliding motility and form spore-like structures.
