General Information: Streptomyces venezuelae strain ATCC 10712, isolated from soil in Caracas, Venezuela in about 1948, grows in a diffuse and homogenous manner in a variety of liquid media, and in some sporulates to near completion. This organism produces a number of secondary metabolites which may be of industrial or pharmaceutical interest. Soil actinomycete.
Subject: NC_014329:1169674 Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis FRC41 chromosome, complete
Lineage: Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis; Corynebacterium; Corynebacteriaceae; Actinomycetales; Actinobacteria; Bacteria
General Information: Strain FRC41 was isolated from the inguinal lymph node of a 12-year-old girl in France with necrotizing lymphadenitis. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis, an important animal pathogen, is the etiological agent of a disease that is commonly called caseous lymphadenitis (CLA) or cheesy gland. This disease is found in all the world's major sheep and goat production areas, causing significant economic losses worldwide, mainly due to the reduction of wool, meat and milk yields, decreased reproductive efficiencies of affected animals and condemnation of carcasses and skins in abattoirs. In some cases, the infection produces few obvious clinical signs in the animal, remaining unrecognized until a post-mortem examination has been carried out and, making it difficult to obtain definitive data about prevalence of the disease.
