Lineage: Psychroflexus torquis; Psychroflexus; Flavobacteriaceae; Flavobacteriales; Bacteroidetes; Bacteria
General Information: Psychroflexus torquis is psychophilic and is an algal epiphyte. The microbe is a chemoheterotroph and requires seawater to grow and is motile by a gliding motility mechanism. Colonies produce an orange carotenoid-like pigment.
Subject: NC_008060:2913671 Burkholderia cenocepacia AU 1054 chromosome 1, complete sequence
Lineage: Burkholderia cenocepacia; Burkholderia; Burkholderiaceae; Burkholderiales; Proteobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: This organism (AU 1054) was isolated from the blood of a patient with CF. This microbe has three chromosomes. Opportunistic pathogen. This species (genomovar III) is part of the Burkholderia cepacia complex, which consists of 9 closely related species, also known as genomovars. These organisms are commonly found in soil and all are opportunistic pathogens espcially in cystic fibrosis patients.
