Query: NC_017065:930985 Rickettsia slovaca str. D-CWPP chromosome, complete genome

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

General Information: Members of this genus, like other Rickettsial organisms such as Neorickettsia and Anaplasma, are obligate intracellular pathogens. In both groups, the bacteria are transmitted via an insect, usually a tick, to a host organism 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.

Subject: NC_013894:578271 Thermocrinis albus DSM 14484 chromosome, complete genome

Lineage: Thermocrinis albus; Thermocrinis; Aquificaceae; Aquificales; Aquificae; Bacteria

General Information: Isolation: whitisch steamers of the Hveragerthi area; Country: Iceland; Temp: Hyperthermophile; Temp: 80C; Habitat: Fresh water, Hot spring. Filament-forming thermophile. Thermocrinis albus can be isolated from sulfur-rich hot springs. In an environment with a continuous flow this organism becomes filamentous, forming long white streamers.
