Query: NC_017287:710104 Chlamydophila psittaci 6BC chromosome, complete genome
Lineage: Chlamydia psittaci; Chlamydia; Chlamydiaceae; Chlamydiales; Chlamydiae; Bacteria
General Information: This organism was previously called Rickettsia psittaci, Chlamydia psittaci or Ehrlichia psittaci. Usually these type of human infections occur when in close contact with infected birds (poultry workers, pet owners), although instances of person to person transmission have been found.
Subject: NC_010382:4479464 Lysinibacillus sphaericus C3-41, complete genome
Lineage: Lysinibacillus sphaericus; Lysinibacillus; Bacillaceae; Bacillales; Firmicutes; Bacteria
General Information: Lysinibacillus sphaericus C3-41 was isolated from a mosquito breeding site in China. This organism is highly toxic to Culex species of mosquito. Lysinibacillus sphaericus, formerly Bacillus sphaericus, is a common environmental organism which produces an insecticidal toxin similar to that produced by Bacillus thuringiensis. Lysinibacillus sphaericus produces two proteins during sporulation which accumulate in parasporal crystalline inclusions. These proteins bind in the gastric cavitiy and midgut of the larvae causing disruption of feeding by the infected host and death.
